Do you see the female dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If you see her moving clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most people apparently see the dancer turning anti-clockwise, however, you can try to change the direction; see if you can do it.
The left side of the brain generally deals with language (speech, writing, etc.) The right side of the brain deals with more spatial activities (music, math, art, etc.) People who are right-brained are thought to be more creative than left-brained people. Left-brained people are more focused on logic and structured activities.
Clockwise.
But I can make it switch!

Try this:
open 2 windows so that the 2 women are rotating. With some concentration, the left one will move clockwise and the right one counterclockwise at the same time.

Hmmm. I started clockwise and then got her to go the other way...
