Spinning Illusion

Do you see this girl spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise???

If you see her spinning clockwise, you're a right brain person. Spinning counter-clockwise, left brain. If you can see both, your either forcing yourself to see it, or your brain cannot decide.

To help change directions of the spinning girl with your own perception, focus on the reflection of her foot or just her foot and imagine her spinning opposite, and it usually works within half a minute. It's harder to look at the whole picture and reverse the spin that way, because our eyes perceive what our minds are lead to believe. Spots that are missing (when you cannot see the arms/legs/ponytail from the side or different angle) are filled up with what we think it to be in our minds.

Clockwise ftw.

Counter.

[izembo]

clockwise, then focused to make it counter, was interesting.

[Ivaden]

Counter at first, but since I've focused to make it clockwise, it won't stop.

[Kaylia]

Clockwise. Called bullshit on being able to see counterclockwise...saw it go counterclockwise after 20sec. My brain hurt. Take around 5sec to change the rotation now looking at the legs and thinking "in front, behind, in in front"

[Izzy]

Counter.

But when I look at the shadow, my brain can't decide Q_________Q

[Ivaden]

It's really weird to watch if you can make it flip back and forth between rotations, it's kinda like it snaps into the other direction.

[Falconblade]

Both

Does this mean I'm retarded

edit:
Oh god I just forced her into constant changes and my brain hurts.

She never even got 1 rotation off during the changes

I saw her spinning clockwise at first but when I focused I was able to see her spin counter. Then I was able to get her to switch back and forth. That was pretty cool. Then she came over.

[Neosutra]

God damnit. I saw her spinning counter clockwise when i first saw it. Then after some focusing got her to spin the other way.... Now i cant get it back.

[Jer]

Bah, going to have to see if I can get it to switch on my pc when I get home. Loaded up the page and she was going Clockwise and I couldn't get her to switch. Read some other thread and came back and now she's going counter and won't switch. Going to blame the crappy work computer. 8)

This seems so weird, once I view it one way its kinda like 'this is obviously the right way, it would make no sense to go the other way' but I say that for both directions. I saw it clockwise the first time I saw it, and whats really impressive to me is that once I was seeing it go counter clockwise I would eat a bit of food and not look at it for a few mins and when I look back she was still spinning counterclockwise, I would have expected my mind to revert back to its 'original' view after not seeing it for that amount of time.

[Scythiroth]

No matter what I do, I can't see it spinning counterclockwise. So yeah, clockwise.

The shadow does confuse me though. @_@

Just to add to this. Helpful if you are a student.

I took that right/left quiz and got 10 answers for the right side, and 8 for the left side.
Just reading about how the diff sides affect all those different topics makes sense with the results I got.

Weird. I just took the quiz and got 18 left brained answers and 0 right brained answers. I swear I am right brain dominant though. Maybe my brain just hurts after a long boring day at work. Im out.

[Fhqwghads]

I tried really hard to make it spin counter, but all I can see is it spinning clockwise. Let me try harder, focusing, focusinN#UIF@~#PRNU~~~R#>........................

Initially went counterclockwise, easy to flip flop it however.
