If
you see this lady turning in
clockwise you are using your
right brain.
If you see her turning
the other way, you are using
left brain.
Some people do see both ways
when they watch for a minute
or two, but most people see
it only one way.
See if you can make her go
one way and then the other
by shifting the brain's
current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
.
Experimentation has shown
that the two different sides
or hemispheres of the brain
are responsible for
different manners of
thinking. The following
table illustrates the
differences between
left-brain and right-brain
thinking:
-
Left
Brain
|
-
Right Brain
|
|
Logical |
Random |
|
Sequential |
Intuitive |
|
Rational |
Holistic |
|
Analytical |
Synthesizing |
|
Looks at parts |
Looks at wholes |
Most individuals have a
distinct preference for one
of these styles of thinking.
Some, however, are more
whole-brained and equally
adept at both modes. In
general, schools tend to
favour left-brain modes of
thinking, while downplaying
the right-brain activities.
Left-brain scholastic
subjects focus on logical
thinking, analysis, and
accuracy. Right-brained
subjects, on the other hand,
focus on aesthetics,
feeling, and creativity.
