[Pic] right brain vs left brain

[leovanham]

I see it clockwise and i don't know howto see it counter-clock. I'm trying real hard! :D

[JorgeIvan]

i can see it in both ways

[Ultomato]

Yeah the gif itself switches the rotation not your brain i think

[sundayx Veteran]

The easiest way to see the switch is, observe her feet (either one) as it is moving in an oval. Now think of that oval as being 'drawn' from the top down. You will observe her rotation is drawing clockwise. Now close your eyes and think of drawing an oval from the bottom up anti clockwise. Now observe her rotation.

I opened up the GIF in ImageReady and it's going clockwise. :)

[leovanham]

well the gif is not switching rotation i can let her move half way left and then half way right and then half way left again on command .. lol this is realy freaky

[DJ-Light]

My brother and I look the picture at the same time to look is the image is fake. My brother view the image going clockwise and I anti-clockwise. So, is not fake.

[Dotdot]

Saw it go one way then the other.

[Angelic Marge]

When I blink it changes direction :laugh:

[Savarize]

This is really strange. In the beginning I was only able to see her moving anti-clockwise, but now I can only see her moving clockwise. :wacko:

[kjordan2001]

Changes direction for me too. I first saw it going clockwise then after a bit it went counter-clockwise and then back to clockwise again when I moved my head.

[Ultomato]

ok yeah after looking at it for 5 mins i can switch it on demand... wierd illusion

[Krome]

For the people that say this is fake, I think you need to focus :p

I can switch the rotation at will.

[NitramX9X]

I can switch directions without a problem . Just look at the space a little bit to the left of her legs if you want to see her go anti-clockwise and the space a to the right oh her legs if you want her to spin clockwise !

I can't concentrate good enough, because I'm afraid a really ugly chick is gonna jump out of the picture and scream at me!

[Zyphrax]

When I first saw it: anti-clockwise

Now with my eyes wide open it goes clockwise. If I pinch my eyes together and look at the feet for a brief moment it goes anti-clockwise. I can make her move back and forth by focussing. Really weird. It's not a fake, or my head would be in sync with the randomizer :). Might have nothing to do with brain parts, just an optical illusion.

[Deathray]

It feels like I have a 0% chance of seeing it going counter-clockwise

All I see is clockwise rotation, no matter how i look at it

[XerXis]

aaah thank you, looking at the oval of the feet and realising the feet just goes from left to right and back again made me see it both ways :D

for the people who still have problems seeing it go counter-clockwise. Think of the upwards pointing leg as the left leg and you are halfway there ;)

[ijaxx]

I see both... if you stare at the foot at the center you can see it change directions...

but her toes would be on mirrored :s

[.Jacob.]

lol just got 3 people to test it, we were all seeing different things at the same time :o

[DigitalE]

I don't see how this can determine whether you are right or left brained..

I can see it going both ways; but I do know for a fact that I am right-brained.

Now i have an urge to put that somewhere in the .gif

[Sesse]

Your perception of the direction of the spin depends on where you are focusing. Chest = clockwise, Legs = counter-clockwise.

[shakey_snake]

Seems fake to me, don't know why just does.

You can see them both.

It is a flat silhouette image. All you have to do to change her is switch when her extended leg crosses in front of her knee.

If you think her extended foot crosses in front of her knee when the extended foot is moving right to left, the sensation is clockwise.

If you think her extended foot crosses in back of her knee when the extended foot is moving right to left, the sensation is counter-clockwise.

For a Fun trick, see if you can visualize her changing direction each "half-spin", moving her extended foot always in front of her knee, like a smooth horizontal pendulum.

It's a funny sensation.
