More Left Face / Right Face

Following up on my experiment of the other night, I’ve posted a couple more studies possibly revealing left brain / right brain features in some familiar faces.

One thing I’ve found, however, is that it’s quite difficult to find appropriate photos. Hardly anyone faces the camera straight on, and environmental factors can overwhelm the intrinsic qualities of the facial features.

I suppose you probably have seen the dancer who changes direction depending on which side of your brain you are in….

If you can’t make her switch look at her with your periforael vision and she will go from clockwise to counter clockwise or vice versa depending on where you start out.

I had seen the dancer, but thanks for reminding me about it — it’s cool. (It’s saying I’m right-brained, at least at the moment.)
