Some people are racking their brains over a video on Twitter.
You can see a horse.
But the crucial question is quite another.
Munich - It's a short clip.
But what exactly do you see?
A horse, of course.
But in which direction is it moving?
Is the horse running forwards or backwards?
The answer to this question varies.
For some, the horse is clearly walking forwards - for others, however, backwards.
And what is right now?
There is no right or wrong to this question.
The answer is supposed to draw conclusions about which hemisphere of your brain dominates.
British TV presenter Julia Bradbury (51) shared the video on Twitter.
“When you see a horse running forward, you are left brained.
If you see it running backwards, you are right-brained. "
Left brain right brain?

Left-brained or right-brained - what does that mean?
Left-brained people are generally considered to be analytical and methodical in thinking.
If the right hemisphere dominates, people are said to have more creativity and artistic talent.
Brain myth or just nonsense?
The myth of the left and right hemispheres is often used to explain human behavior. And this myth has persisted for years. Neuroscientists have been trying to clarify this phenomenon for years. Such things are an optical illusion. They show how the brain processes visual information to create a visual model of the world, said brain researcher Steven Novalla years ago. At that time it was about a dancer who turns in circles. Whether right or left - the rotating dancer is interpreted three-dimensionally in our perception. “None of this means that their personality or ability is more like the right or left hemisphere.” It has nothing to do with analytical or creative or dominant hemispheres.
Blue and black - or white and gold?
What color is the dress?
Perhaps some will remember: the color of a dress sparked discussions on the Internet in 2015.
Is it blue and black or is it white and gold?
Celebrities are also involved in the discussion.
An expert then resolved the phenomenon.
The reason is the way the brain corrects color in daylight, explained neuroscientist Bevil Conway.
Photos keep popping up that are confusing at first glance.
Optical illusions keep causing big waves.
One made the rounds under the title "The Hug" (in German: embrace).
