This was over at another site. Shows that what we see, in some ways, are chosen. Its best to watch it with your wife/husband/friend at the same time.

Cool!

I can deliberately change the direction of the Dancing Girl's rotation as many times as I like. (I am willing to reveal the trick but first I want to give everybody a chance to discover it for themselves... It's a neat trick with far-reaching implications...)

yeah i'm definitely right-brain oriented.

I can only see the right brain answer. I keep staring at her, but I can't see it. I can never see those magic eye things either sad.gif

I am mainly right brained - clockwise
I am able to switch to counterclockwise - left brained
I can't figure out how I can make the direction change
It's almost like willing a pendulum to change direction.

biggrin.gif haha that is fun, intresting that most of us see it going clockwise first.

Took me a while to switch it , had to cheat (I think) to get it going both ways.

Most interesting was our cleaner at work sees it switching direction all the time, does not make a full rotation for her very often

after repeated clockwise turns i figured out how to make her turn counterclockwise. we can share the tricks when everybody has tried it? this was fun.

when i first looked it was counter-clockwise (no!). played with my thoughts and focus for a minute until it became clockwise. it takes a minute or two for me to shift it, but i can shift it. not really sure the specific mechanics of it or anything.

i left it spinning clockwise, which is how i prefer to interpret the world.


maybe a simple tool like this can help someone actually shift their mindset.

clockwise at first....took me a few to figure that one out smile.gif I had to really focus to convince my brain otherwise...but maybe its just because its early in the morning biggrin.gif

Counterclockwise first for quite some time - hard to take my eyes off the very nicely drawn breasts! Looked away for a while, came back and it was clockwise. All the women where I'm working saw it clockwise and all the men, counterclockwise. Now I can flip it with a little patience.

I can switch back and forth easily. If I focus in the bottom left hand corner of the screen, then look at the image it spins counter-clockwise. If I then focus on the bottom right hand corner and shift focus to the image it spins clockwise.

I didn't follow the link. But if it's what I think it is, you can use a ceiling fan.

I can only see clockwise. Just goes to prove you that "reality" is really subjective.
