We didn't learn anything that we didn't already know? Nigel is weird?

Shut your eyes and imagine the figure rotating in one direction and open your eyes and she will be going in that direction. Then shut your eyes again and imagine the figure in the opposite direction and open your eyes and she will go in that direction. Open and shut your eyes quickly and she will switch from one leg to the the other leg.

Fascinating! Counterclockwise rotation at first, then after a period of passively watching, ranging from 20 to 90 seconds, it spontaneously reverses to Clockwise... As a rocket scientist, I think I am Left-Brained [so the flip surprised me when it happened], and I don't recognize many of the words in the right-brained column... Well maybe risk-taker, big-picture and symbolic reasoning. Showed this to one of my sons [a 1L] who is well grounded mathematically and analytic... He saw exactly the same pattern as I did. Will try with my older son who is an artist over the weekend. Peter's & Rick's point is well taken, maybe biotech investors are a mix of both worlds since you have to be somewhat grounded or face certain ruin, but need to see possibilities to actually make money. I suspect this is really a dynamic example of Neckar Cube Reversal where the motion is important in building the picture and then shifting it. Wiki has some info in the "Multistable Perception" section. graham --
