Right or Left Brain?

[Solitary Wanderer]

Well, its counter-clockwise for me, then I relaxed my mind and  she started spinnin' clockwise for a while then back to counter-clockwise.

Dunno if this is a computer trick that she changes direction every now and then or if its all in your mind.

She goes clockwise for me.  Then I try to will her to go counter-clockwise and she does not.  Then suddenly she goes counter-clockwise on her own.

Left (counterclockwise), I tried seeing it the other way, but I can't. 

  Me too Geroge she is definitely spinning counterclockwise and as hard as I tried I could not see her spinning the other way.  I take that back, she spins as Anne says in both directions, maybe its all a joke??

i showed this to my mom and she said it looked like it was spinning right while it looked like it was spinning left to me. they say that guys usually are left-brained oriented and women are right-brained oriented, there might be something to that....

right now i'm experimenting and seeing what makes it look like it's turning left and what makes it look like it's turning right. I can turn it back and forth every few seconds but it's a mystery how i do it.... so far, i can make it turn right if i'm 1) not focusing on anything at all and come to a state of mind where i just feel like i'm falling asleep; 2) move my gaze into a different direction, and suddenly it starts turning right; 3) like that first time, have a sudden burst of inspiration from music

if it's turning left, it means i'm thinking, to sum it up simply. And often, I can make it turn right, but it only lasts for a second or two, then turns left again 

ok, onto more testing......

Yeah, I'm waiting for the punchline.

it's all in your mind- if it wasn't, my mom would've said she was spinning left

My wife and I looked at it at the same time and she saw it spinnin' right while I saw it spinnin' left.

I can see it both ways; I have intergrated hemispheres

i think we have a similar mind 

[sidoze]

it's fake. if you watch long enough you'll see she switches from side to side at seemingly random times

[Renfield]

Interesting...

Apparently, this plays on a combination of hemisphere use and visual perception. Because for me, the model spins clockwise beyond doubt; but if I focus on her legs, consider the motion, and then immediately switch my visual focus to her body, she immediately changes direction, and spins counter-clockwise.

that's what i thought for a second, except my mom saw it spinning right, i saw it spinning left at the same time

look at her foot on the ground. Think of it as the right foot, then the left foot. That may do the trick.

(I saw her first turning counter clockwise)

I saw it first CW, but looking at the shadow of the foot helped me see it CCW. (Otherwise I was 100% sure it was CW!)

well then, nevermind what I said

To save clicking away from GMG, let's stick her in this thread.

All this clockwise and counterclockwise junk is messing me up...she is turning to her left! To side of the foot in the air.  What does that mean? Don't you think she gets dizzy?

OMFG weird...I started reading the text....and she started turning the other way! This is messing with me isn't it?

[Mozart]

When I think about it she turns left, but when I stopped to send an email she was going right...and it gave me a headache and shes going left again. Major funking up my head. How can 2 people (or myself) see the same thing differently?

Does she look to be spinning faster sometimes than others?




This just keeps getting weirder....I opened the gif in Adobe Image ready to study it frame by frame, and in that it was turning right will when I look at the webpage it turned left...

[greg]

Does she look to be spinning faster sometimes than others?

it looks like that to me, but it's only because the computer can't be at top speed all the time, especially if you open another program, it'll just slow it down

and how you mentioned it changing direction after you look at something and then look back- lol, weird isn't it

[Daidalos]

First clockwise, then counterclockwise. Weird.

[Mark]

Keep looking at her. Can still only see her turning clockwise.

[George]

Keep looking at her. Can still only see her turning clockwise.

To be crystal clear, this means when her feet are facing you, they move right to left?

[Bogey]

Depends on how I look at it.....sometimes clockwise, sometimes counter.  Good to know that I have access to both sides of my brain.  Now I just need to apply each side in a higher manner.
