Easily wasted an hour just staring at this figuring out how the hell it works:
Which way do you see the girl spinning…clockwise or counterclockwise?
Apparently…it’s **BOTH**
“If you think she’s going clockwise, you’re apparently right-brain dominant (imaginative, philosophical, touchy-feely, impetuous); if you see her going counter-clockwise, you’re left-brain dominant (logical, practical, detail-oriented, safe).”
- Personally…i look at it one minute and I think its going one way…i turn away and look again and its going the opposite way! I was reading some people can voluntarily make it go whatever they want, just by how the look at it and perceive it…unbelievable. I wont stop until I can do that

When I FIRST saw it, it was rotating CC. Now all I see is clockwise. Jekyll & hyde?

it’s predominantly going Clockwise, but once in a while she’ll start spinning the other way.

here’s another one
[quote=“youngGZ”"]
try this one on for size:
First, follow the rotating pink dot with your eyes
The only color you see is pink.
But then focus on the black + in the center. You should see green.
Then stare at it even longer. Everything should go away.

I’m one of those people that can alter how I percieve it and “force” myself to see it to either way on demand.

Me too. I have to blink at the point where the extended leg is obscured, pointing into the screen, and then I can change directions. Thinking about which way I ‘want’ it to turn seems to help.

I love these things, this one is really cool.
I’m sure everyone who can see it switch noticed this, but I’ll point it out anyway and it might make it easier for people who can’t get it to switch:
When she is spinning clockwise its her left foot that is touching the ground, and her right arm is outstretched.
When she is spinning counterclockwise her right foot is touching the ground, and her left arm is outstretched.
