Are a left or right brain type?

clockwise from me - tried looking away from the image so it was in the corner of my eye and not in focus etc but still clockwise.

How can it be anti-clockwise when it spins in a clock wise direction

Because it's not. It's an optical illusion and it's not a 3D image, I can't explain how it seems to flip sides though when you "will" it to or when you just focus on something else for a short time.

Look at it, then blink your eyes and shake your head and it will change direction.

Weird, if i read something then look at it, it changes.

My brain hurts now trying to change it. Guess I don't have a left side to my brain.

Woe is me277!

Remember guys, if you stare at her too long you will go blind...

oddly, I see it going both ways. not at the same time, but it intermittently changes.

She looks quite cold.

First thing you noticed?

Sorry guys but its a fake.
The video changes direction
It changed at the same time for four of us watching it

Reppyboyo · 6 Oct 2007 at 21:56

Cant make it go anti at all.

You can make it change direction at will, so it's not fake.

Aod · 6 Oct 2007 at 22:06

clockwise for about 3 seconds, then anticlockwise all the way

<edit> it can't be fake because its a .gif, with only 34 frames = one full rotation.

Apparently I'm right brained(clockwise). However, from the way I am, I would have said left.

Very much into engineering type stuff, but not at all religion or philosophy.
I'm also quite practical, as well as logical. So it seems wrong.

If I look of the pic, she swaps directions, and I can make her just go back and forth, without completing a full revolution.

edit; having looked again, it seems I'm a mix of things (better at describing a thing's function, than remembering its name.

I guess it means I use both equally then? Or maybe more of my right side. Although on balance I'd say I use more of the left from that list.

if you look up to the left she'll spin clockwise ...if you look up to the right she'll spin anti

well she does for me anyway

MarkLP · 6 Oct 2007 at 22:19

anti-clockwise, I can't make it go clockwise :confused:

Zogger · 6 Oct 2007 at 22:19

the image really does only one revolution and it does still change direction for me when open in a gif viewer so it's not a fake, but I wouldn't read too much into the left brain right brain thing. I would imagine it's completely unrelated to which way it spins.

ca9phoenix · 6 Oct 2007 at 22:21

having looked i can change the direction, at one point she was oscilating and not doing ful circles.... very clever

Clockwise. If I try hard enough, I can see it going anti-c for a briedf period. Reading the notes, I would have said left-side brain-ed person so meh...

Same for me, I was borderline autistic as a kid so I know I'm very much left brained, but it's always going clockwise for me.

Vix · 6 Oct 2007 at 22:25

Clockwise for me, and that's pretty much me anyway.

I can't get it to go the other way

Same here. I've tried shifting focus to different parts of the image but it just goes anti the whole time.

Heliospherez · 6 Oct 2007 at 22:29

It isn't a fake.

If you focus on her toes you can actually stop her doing a full rotation. I can switch between clockwise / anti-clockwise now and actually make her just move her outstretched leg from left to right. Don't concentrate on her face at all and you should be able to control her rotation at will.

Very cool animation.
