I saw it at first as counter-clockwise. To make it change to clockwise, I first focused on a leg and said outloud “back… front… back…. front” as it swung around; then I reversed the direction of spin by reversing the order of the words: “front… back… front… back”. That is, when the leg was in the back while the dancer was spinning counter-clockwise, I simply said outloud that the leg was in front, etc. After a couple of spins, the dancer started spinning clockwise.

I had to use the same trick to make her go back to counter-clockwise — it wouldn’t change back automatically.

At first I thought it was a programming trick and not completely convinced that it isn’t. If I focus on the shadow of the foot, it ALWAYS go across the window from right to left.

If focus on the foot shadow, I can “make” it change directions. If I look at the image, it seems to switch directions randomly.

started off anti-clockwise, then swapped to clockwise now can’t go back!

goes both ways for me, just depends on how much i focus on it.

Very interesting :D

I can only see it anti-clockwise and I’m irritated because it is frustrating me in my inability to chang direction at the moment.

That and I should be working :(

This is really cool. If I focus directly on the pic, she turns anti-clockwise. If I focus elswhere and she is in the periphery of my vision she turns clockwise.

Wrong!! I’m definately left brain centric and I cannot get her to turn anti-clockwise.

ERM> OK!? How on earth do you see that thing going anti-clockwise? I mean. IM NOT ISANE!!!!!

I don’t know if you are right with the lists though. Cuz I am good at both. Except maths :/
