Right side of your brain

Read the message below BEFORE looking at the image.

Find the man between the coffee beans. Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in 3 seconds that your right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and one minute, then your right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between one minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after & 3 minutes your right half of your brain is a mess, and the only advice is to look more for these types of exercises to make that part of the brain stronger.

"Doctors?" I'd love to see that backed up.

Ivan's picture

I think it shouldn't be taken too seriously. I have no idea how reliable those numbers are.

Oh, I know. I mean I don't expect anybody to base their careers off this or anything. It just bothers the hell outta me to see something like this and read claims that it was developed by "doctors" and backed up by "science" and such nonsense. It probably isn't going to hurt anything, but it just makes the world feel like a less honest place.

I think I'll need to have a go at more of these exercises. I don't see the man at all. You sure there is one?

I thought I was supposed to be looking for some subliminal picture of a guy...so i had my eyes all blurred and focussing "behind" the picture like those old 3d texture images that used to be popular...then I stumbled upon the guy after about a minute. Always trying to read BETWEEN the lines...gotta start taking the direct approach. hahah.

under 2. weird, I'd had almost given up due to lack of interest. As for the relevance, it'd be interesting to see more research in this area.

The first time I looked, I was squinting to see if it was an optical illusion or something, then I scrolled back to read the article better, and when I scrolled back down I saw the man instantly. :-)

but still can't see the coffee beans ;-b

seriously this is good fun but where did you get this "test" and it's presumptions? Is this part of an actual program.

If there's actual basis for this, the results I find interesting: I found him easily within three seconds. Any source as to why or how this is supposed to work?

I guess I'm such a coffee fan that I could just sense something was wrong down there.
I also seem to have a knack for catching a misspelled word in a paragraph. This seemed like a similar exercise to me. Great little game. Thanks!

If this is a test of one's creative mind's creativity, I did very poorly. Being given a 3 to 60 second time limit put addtional pressure on me. Like a lot of people, based on experience, I looked for an image made out of coffee beans. In frustration, I seached the Web, looking for the answer and only found the same question and picture over and over. Out of the need for peace of mind, I finally searched the picture and saw the man in the lower left hand corner. Sad thing is, I'm sure I've seen this puzzle before. I just forgot the answer. So I lack a lot of things, patience and creativity being two of them.

I did what most people did at first—I was squinting expecting it to be one of those old 3D images where all of a sudden a pic of Jesus came at you, or something like that. And then I just went for it and looked and there he was!

I guess 20 seconds isn't so bad though. Does that mean I'm normal??? Oh no. ;-D

The first time I looked at it, it took 15 - 20 seconds to find it. Now when I look at it, it only takes about .25 seconds to see it. So my right brain has just had a vast improvement. All without eating more proteins. Scientists conclude that this rate of growth in the brain demonstrates super-human qualities and makes me better than 98.234% of the rest of the population.

took me 5 seconds!!

Whats weird about this, is if the image is slightly low on the screen - the man is in a natural blind spot. Even if you know he's there, you cant see him. If you scroll up a touch you can see him super clear.

what's weird is i did this several months ago and i found it right away.
and then when i saw it again today... it took me forever to find the man. how odd. guess my brain is slower today.
