Thanks!

Yes, I can do those 3D pictures easily too (once I figured them out), and I do the same with patterns!!  Curtains, shadows, graphic patterns have provided hours of dissociative pastime for me.  It's almost like pulling focus on a camera, really.  

Yay.  I'm not insane.  

So, perhaps it has more to do with the ability to shift perspective (literally and figuratively) easily than with being "right" or "left" brained?  Interestingly, I would associate that skill with the "creative" mind and not the "logical" one.

Yes, I agree. I share your enthusiasm about not being insane :D!

Easily shifting focus is probably well said. I think it might be caused by easier communication between left and right brain that women have (the corpus callosum works better for us, apparently. Migeru reminded me of my psychology classes ;), credit to him.)

So maybe this little experiment shows that we are actually using both sides of the brain fairly well??? :) (Nothing wrong with a bit of ego-boosting on this apparently very right-brained blog... LOL)

Scientific proof that this site has a male bias?   lol.

Like I said, I'm going with "ambi-cerebral."  (I thought I'd just made up this term, but some googling -yes, I can google, Mig- reveals its previous, though I suspect illegitimate, existence.)

It's not that ET is a right-brained blog, it's that most of the left-brainers are deeply involved in discussions about economic this and financial that and haven't noticed the "Open Thread" (or the face among the beans.)

The fact that Chris noticed--after having no doubt read and commented on economic this and financial that--explains his reaction to the image.

The fact that those who have looked have tried to see it spinning the other way shows we are eager to learn.

The fact that more than one of us suspected that the image had been manipulated in some way shows that some of us have a latent susception to conspiracy theories.  

Which we will try and debunk, of course.
