In another post called “left brain right test” in this forum in which I put forward information on some research done as to if the bias a brain has to
left or right affects the personality, I remembered a another story about the human brain and the affect of brain switching between hemispheres. In
the program they shows a display called “Bonneh's Illusion” which when looked at gave you the some what disturbing ability to consciously see you
brain switching from one hemisphere to the other to try to solve a problem presented to it.
The premise is that the time your brain takes in the switching process determines what abilities and skills you are able to be more proficient at. I
took the test and when you see the affect it can be disturbing at first for some reason and that was all so reported on the show.
What’s the difference between a ballet dancer, a Buddhist monk, and a mathematician? Australian neuro-scientist, Jack Pettigrew believes it’s all to
do with how their brains switch from one side to the other. Jonica Newby’s fascinating report follows Jack’s personal and scientific journey deep into
the functioning of the brain. It’s lead him to question the very nature of how our brains work. Along the way viewers will be able to work out how
quickly their brains switch from left to right hemisphere. According to Pettigrew, this brain switching speed could determine what we’ll be good at in
life.
Take the test
You will firstly need to view the test, known as Bonneh's
Illusion, here
www.uq.edu.au...
Then follow these instructions:
Get a pen and paper
Get a friend to time the test for 30 seconds.
When your friend says go, concentrate on the top left yellow dot. As
you stare at this dot, the other dots will begin to disappear. Each time
all three dots re-appear, tick the paper.
Your friend should call stop after 30 seconds.
SCORES:
If you scored between 4 and 6, your brain switch rate is average.
If you scored more than 6, your brains switch rate is fast, like a dancer.
If you scored less than 4, your brain switch rate is slow, like a
mathematicians.

Note Post your scores lets see if the members of ATS are mathematicians with slow switch rates or high switches like dancers.
I scored average of 5 some iam just one of the crowd
