Was it photoshopped? I clicked to increase the size. Us visual types always look for the shadows. The shadows on the grout of the wall tiles indicate light coming in from the right. Shadows on the display (the left panel is slightly darker than the one on the right) and on our little scientist's face indicate light coming from the left.
