Watch her outer foot carefully and it's clear she isn't even making full revolutions.

Clockwise, only clockwise, and don't see how it can appear otherwise. Maybe she'll change later.

I've been getting more than half clockwise but a good bit of the other way too. I get the feeling it's when words are going strong in the head that she goes clockwise for sure. Then thoughts drift to more image/feeling related stuff (like remembering the knockout I saw earlier) as I look away, and then she spins the other way. The brain is fun!

I can make her apparent rotation switch between clockwise and counter clockwise by looking at the shadow and considering her angle of inclination toward me.

Freeky... I love illusions.

For the longest time I could only see it as clockwise. Then I scrolled down to see only the feet and shadow, and could - with great effort - "make her" go counter-clockwise.

From there, I started pausing it and stop-starting it to make her change directions. Still can't do it "on the fly" so to speak.

However, my work computer is somewhat slower than my home setup, so her spin is rather jerky here. Now, when I watch her, she's doing non-stop figure 8's; whenever her leg comes around to the "front", it suddenly flips to the back and comes around the other side again!

My head hurts....

Here's a cogent explanation from a Yale neurologist.

In short, it's nothing about right/left brain. It just depends on what visual cues your use the moment you look at it. This is why some people can make it move the other way. They just look at different visual cues.

So I tried this yesterday and intially saw her spinning clockwise but within 30 seconds or so figured out that I could perceive her turning either way on command, by flicking some switch in my brain.

I just had a look again and saw her moving clockwise but this time I can't get her to turn the other way. This afternoon I have a weird headache. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

Clockwise only. You're mental if you see counter-clockwise. See a doctor.

I can change between both without too much difficulty. Looking at the feet as they drop to the floor seems to do it. I'm pretty much ambidextrous, with hands and feet. But I can't write with my feet. I am a div!

And another thing they're fake. No two ways about it. No sagging there. No pencils and cigarettes.

Is the off shoot of this one that although feeling slightly nauseous you start to feel randy. With Nausea comes randiness. Or is that another study?

If you examine the first frame of the gif, it's ambiguous. Is that a woman's front? Or is that a woman's back? Whatever your brain happens to decide, that's the way she spins.

What's wild is get it going in two or more image viewers that can display animated gifs. They'll change direction rapidly.

so, essentially, the ability to make her change directions is a measure of how easily distracted you are?
