Question

You will enjoy this if you are using the right side of your brain. Stare at this picture carefully and you will see this man turn his face.

Good one Eddy! - Yeser007, Jan 31, 2012

I can see it both ways at the same time. Disturbing. :-p - Gekkosan, Jan 31, 2012

Answer 1

Being a lefty I saw it immediately (as we are the only ones in our right mind) jejeje.

Good one, yesero! You southpaws have a lot to overcome, being sinister and gauche and all.... heehee :) - ajaks, Jan 31, 2012

I was a left-handed boxer but very right-handed at every thing else - kack-handed in fact :) - ian-hill, Jan 31, 2012

I agree completely comrade. Clever ! - ray76, Jan 31, 2012

You tell them, Gary!! ;)) - territurtle, Jan 31, 2012

Answer 2

Oh no!! I stared at it for ages and saw no changes whatsoever. Does this mean I only have half a brain lol (ie the left half)

That's a shame because it's really surprising when it flips over. - Eddy, Jan 31, 2012

This might help. You are not looking for the right side. The face simply turns to look to the left. - Eddy, Jan 31, 2012

hehe! Well it took some staring lol, but eventually I saw it :) - billygoat, Jan 31, 2012

Uh, Eddy, it turned to *face* me instead. ??? - territurtle, Jan 31, 2012

I'm not seeing anything either, Billy! - SonrisaDelSol, Jan 31, 2012

Lol, wait, I got it :D - SonrisaDelSol, Jan 31, 2012

hehe Sonrisa. I must have stared at it for about 2 or 3 minutes each time before I saw it! - billygoat, Jan 31, 2012

Answer 3

Although I could see the two sides with both eyes open, I found it easier to see the side view with my left eye open only. Nice photo, thank you for sharing.

Answer 4

Spooky!

Answer 5

It flipped after a few seconds. But sometimes he is looking off to the side, but the eye is still looking at me! LOL

Answer 6

I grew up being trained to write with the right hand, but now I can write with both hands.

Does that mean my brain's all mashed up?

Oh and it didn't take me long to figure out how that man could 'turn his head'.

Answer 7

Wow! That was cool. So what does this have to do with which side of your brain you're using? (if any)

Ajaks, the right side of your brain is said to control imagination and creativity and people who use the right side (like left handed people) see things in a different way. - Yeser007, Jan 31, 2012

Well, that's certainly true hehe! :) - ajaks, Jan 31, 2012

Answer 8

He sure did !

But after a while I had to "learn" how to do it when I wanted to.

For me it's instant althought I am convinced it doesn't make me special, purely lop sided, hehe. - Eddy, Jan 31, 2012

Answer 9

If you pull your mouth down to the left side of your face it will move for you more easily.

rofl ;)) - territurtle, Jan 31, 2012

Answer 10

I think I can see it. Wow! Interesting...

Answer 11

Ha ha! Worked for me, I really can't see how these things have anything to do with what side of our brains we're using though, the same with the silhouette of the girl changing direction, I can never get that one to work. I can't imagine her spinning the other way unless someone draws in the details of her body into the animation

Nor can I :) - ian-hill, Jan 31, 2012
