I can't seem to make her spin any other way, no matter how hard I try. I can't even see that it's possible to see it another way. I'd like to know how they relate that to right brain/left brain really, though.

At first I thought she was spinning clock-wise, then it shifted to counter-clockwise. When she's going clock-wise, she's leading with her right arm. When she's going counter-clockwise, she's leading with her left arm. If you block out her limbs and only look at her midsection for a few seconds, you can more easily switch her direction.

clockwise. interesting. I'm more often accused of left brain than right brain tendencies.

I got her awitched too: from clockwise to counter-clockwise by looking only at her head first. Now she is switching back and forth. Whew, from the right-brain descriptions, I thought I would have to look into Kaballah.

LOL - how about looking at it out of the corner of your eye? Does that make a difference? it's a weird thing and really it's an optical illusion. How they managed to relate it to a person being "right" or "left" brained is beyond me.

I was just the opposite. First I saw her counter-clockwise, then it was clockwise. I left the site and went back, and it remained clockwise. This is weird, because the "right-brain" functions don't describe me at all.

It happened again! I went back after awhile. And the girl was going counterclockwise. And then, right in front of my eyes (I never looked away), she switched to clockwise. Strange!

I couldn't get her to change direction (clockwise at first) until I looked at the foot shadow, then *flip* and she's spinning counter-clockwise.

I'm also getting changes from one direction to the other, but nothing I can consciously control.

Wow! That's wild. (I have no idea what it proves, but it's wild.)

I looked at it first and said, "well, obviously, she's going counter-clockwise". Then I stared at it for a while. I focused on her feet (reluctantly), and looked away, trusting my peripheral vision to help. Suddenly, she was going clockwise, and I couldn't make her switch back!

I think I've figured it out; I can make her switch now.

Thanks for an entertaining (if non-productive) half-hour at work...

I tried it again. This time I watched it for several minutes, and found that it just keeps changing direction. I can't control it, it changes on its own.
