I know, but that is what it looks like to me. No shading.

Fuck you, I'm right, you're wrong >=(

Wow, I first started seeing it turning clockwise but studied it to make it turn counter. And I think the trick is for the people who cant do it freely is to: Not to look at it as a Third Dementional image but as a 2D one. Focus more on the legs and tell yourself or let your brain know that the leg isn't going away but coming towards you. After you think your getting it, draw your attention towards the upper body so you don't confuse your mind and get stuck seeing the dancer both ways. Now I can simply switch from clockwise to counter and back. Nice, where can I find more of these brain exercises.

I could only see her rotating clockwise at the beginning and i didn't understand how any of you could possibly see it going counterclockwise, it seems logical to me that she's goin clockwise, but after reading some of your post , i've been able to see it rotating counterclockwise and change it at will!
That's weird...just weird...

But i definatly am right-brained, and i already knew it since i am passioned by art, literature, poetery, sport and music! i'm the exact defenition of right-brained people lol !!

This way the dancer's direction can never be fully determined.

No that's wrong , it depends on the way your brain work , that's all...

Would you like to elaborate on that?

I explained how the thing was made. It depends on the individuals brain, how they'll perceive it.

Look at the pic. You can see from the frame that I caught it on, it has the feet in two directions. And, whith this in mind, you can figure out whick way it could turn, both.

It was counter clockwise at first, i looked away to read the description and then it just spun clockwise and i couldn't change it.

Ditto...!

ARGH! Clockwise, and if I try to change it my brain hurts.

I can make it spin both ways.

To me, it was originally going anti/counter clockwise, but after I voted on the poll and went back to the page it was going clockwise.

I must have been using the the left-side of my brain when I first opened it, and then for some reason I started using my right-side.

EDIT: I just made it go anti-clockwise again.

This angers me.

This sounds like your perception of yourself/ your ideal is in opposition with your actual self. Not necessarily because of the picture, but because it angers you.

Clockwise for me, but took a while to get it to figure out on how to change it. But once I figured it out, it was easy, but if I left it on the anti-clockwise, it would eventually return to turning clockwise after a while. Quite cool though.

That' tripped out when you make it change.

Can't change it at will, kinda sorta.

Counter-clockwise

You can change the direction at will by focusing only on the her foot that slightly elevated and nothing else.

omg

it WAS spinning counter clockwise, and now its going clockwise O_O OMG!?!?!

thats odd

It started out clockwise, but then I started alternating it back and forth at will. I was able to switch it at every leg image convergence. That must mean that I am about equally left-brained and right-brained? That is what I have figured for a long time.

So far, the poll has 24 right-brained and 9 left-brained. There must be something to that because lucid dreaming is a very right-brained person thing to get into.

though I was able to flip it, kinda like those thing-a-ma-hummas 3D pictures where you see stuff in the wavy lines (help me out here)

hallusions

Mine went counter clockwise, then clockwaise,then back again...

I really think it changes!

for me it goes both ways, i can stop it from going either way half-way through and make it turn around and vice versa, its almost as if i control the image lol, yay for me im evenly-brained


i could make it CCw for as long as i want along with CW

the image is meant to fool your left or right brain

can't fool me

counter-clockwise.

It always starts clockwise but I can change it at will.
