are you left-brain or right-brain

Not only do I see her going clockwise, I see that the girl needs some money for clothes. Where do we send donations Dave?

She first turned clockwise. Then if I looked at her real careful like and imagined the other direction, she'd switch around. After thinking about the other direction, it helped to change my focus from say her head to her foot or vice versa.

That's @#$%ed up! I immediately saw counter-clockwise, but I was able to change direction after focusing really hard. What surprised me was that it was equally as difficult to switch back. They would eat this up where I work. They're big into psychological type and all that stuff.

How do you make her turn counter-clockwise? Man2Toe: I actually like the way she dresses a lot.

Clockwise at a first but I can reverse the direction quite easily.

henning, to change the direction try focusing on the outstretched foot and when it gets it's farthest to one side think of it going back in the same direction and it probably will.

That she is moving clockwise I find quite apparent. I don't see how they get off saying that most people see her spinning counter-clockwise. Just follow the tips of her toes...

She's goes both ways at the same time but your brain can only interpret one direction at a time. ;)

I see her moving clockwise. Some of you might find this and this interesting. The first link is to a very brief paper on implications of brain research for the teaching and learning of second languages. The second one to a blog at UCL about research suggesting brain shape has an impact on language learning ability.

To me, she appears to alternate on her own. Either that, or I may need to see a doctor.

not sure...it seems to flip directions everytime I try to read the article... The Myers-Briggs Test is pretty interesting as well.. http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/JTypes1.htm it has prehaps the same entertainment value as a horoscope except slightly more accurate... people see what they want to see... that's what is so brilliant about these things...

First she went anti-clockwise, then after half a turn she changed direction... but maybe that was so because the image had difficulties loading and was going real slow. Once she really turned I saw her go clock-wise. After just focussing in on her foot, I could make her change direction.

How do you make her go round in circles?

I first saw her going counter-clockwise than I started reading and suddenly she started moving clockwise. After that she has changed directions a couple of times for me but I can't do it at will.

I got better at switching after a few tries...I basically had to do what Bazza said. I had to tell my brain that it really is a two-dimensional image, and she really isn't spinning. Sort of like that kid in the Matrix..."there is no spoon."

That article is interesting. When I first watched this page I was listening to some music and the girl was turning anti-clockwise. Just after I finish to read the text the girl was turning clockwise. But after the first seconds of surprise you can choose the direction of rotation if you see the girl moving in both directions at the same time (as Bazza said).

Ahh, I can't make it change directions! The very first time I looked yesterday , she was spinning clockwise, but today, she was going counter-clockwise first. Then as I stared, it went back to clockwise.

I think it's a gimmick, I stared at her feet, etc. and she does switch directions quite deliberately. Just look at the hip, the near and far positions suddenly switch at predestined times. I don't think I had a sudden attack of Left brain/Right brain ( ... as this short dissection proves; I am rather permanently stuck on "Analytical mode.") But it's interesting, nonetheless.

Can't tell which direction she's going, I'm hypnotized by her breasts

Bazza's suggestion got me able to perceive the motion as counter-clockwise. There was an intermediary step where it looked as if she was rotating back-and-forth (with her leg extended away from me) rather than doing full circles. Maybe this is what Scotty means. On an unrelated note, I'll gladly take donations, Man2toe. :)
