It's kind of related to gymnastics and what we do in gymnastics - you know how we do cartwheels on both sides - right/left - we always say it's good for the brain b/c it works it, and you build neurons, brain pathways, on both sides, etc. Like writing with both hands. :D
THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
From Herald Sun newspaper in Australia:
[quote]If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
