Brain Training Dancer

You may wonder why there is a spinning woman on my blog. This image ostensibly tests whether you use your right brain hemisphere or your left brain hemisphere more. When I got this in an email, the caption said, "Clockwise dance belongs to right hemisphere users. Counterclockwise belongs to left hemisphere users. Try to reverse dancer rotation for training the other part of the brain."

Is this true? I have no idea. I am, however, fascinated with brain research and what it tells us about learning. One person's explanation can be found at http://thebraintrainingblog.blogspot.com/2007/10/right-brain-vs-left-brain.html

And I have no clue whether he knows what he's talking about or not. But it's fun to think about. And it's fun to try to make her switch directions.
