Left Vs Right

If you see this lady turning in clockwise, you are using your right brain.
If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.
Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.
See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current.
BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different
manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:
Left Brain Right Brain
Logical Random
Sequential Intuitive
Rational Holistic
Analytical Creative
styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes.
In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones.
Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy.
Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

Anyway myself i originally got her going clockwise only.. however then I looked another time she was going anti, now I can make her switch at will!!
pretty cool though

Could only see clockwise for ages
went down stairs come up now can only see anti clockwise... its proper weird. Obviously a clever illusion, wonder if it does mean differnt parts of your brain.

I could see both, not at once but if I looked away and then looked back she was going the other way haha, does it make me more intelligent?

I watched her for about 2 mins without taking my eyes off
The image just changes direction, theres no illusion..
If your telling me thats an illusion or some kind of brain thing..
Ye... right...she just changes direction...

its an optical illusion, if you concentrate hard enough she'll appear to be turning the other way, i just stared at her for a while and i could see her turn both ways consecutively
it isnt hard to do it ^^

I decided to test your theory, I started to stare at it and after a couple of minutes sure enough it just changed but about a second before hand I started to sing along to a good song instead of concentrating on it, then it started to change quickly without me doing too much, I dont believe it is on a cycle though

I can choose which way i see it... I just think its turning that way and it looks to me like that... what does that mean?!

I'm in full agreeince with Darko It is programmed to cycle back after a minute or two it's not the brain doing it but the programming.

Your both got to be wrong
I can make her go right when I want and left when I want
I can make her not do a full circle left to right..
Initially I looked at for ages and she was just going clockwise and someone stood next to me said she changed but I couldnt see anything
All you have to do it look at and well you can change it by yourself

I didnt try to make her change and she did watch the feet focus on them at one point the extended foot goes behind a leg then it reverses direction

It is probably a loop but it doesnt chage direction its just looping the same
Your probabaly seeing the new loop and it changes for you
what you havent done is work out the trick of changing it
It is an illusion
You can reverse it if you do it right

I believe its the image not me.
It isnt possible in my mind.
But whatever, everyone has there opinions.

Well it did say some minds will be limited to what they can do
I can see her as I wish (except for naked and in colour), If I want her to spin clockwise she will and if I want her to turn the otherway I just look at her leg and transfer it..
I can do it on any whim and make her go left to right so she never completes a full circle if I wish...

what part of optical illusion is so hard to grasp?
yes its a loop, but due to the girl being black against a mainly white background its easy to make her change direction at will
its all about perception, right when one leg disappears behind (or in front) you can make the direction change, its just a trick on your eyes, plain and simple

black is a shade, and does it mean im rly crazy, coz im seeing her goin like feet over head..., but ulot are all sayin she is turnin round, for me she is goin south 2 north 2 south, ect

Yeah hes right, Black white and any mix of the two (grey lol) is not a colour, it is a shade as Fazz said.

What part of in my opinion this isnt possible is so hard to grasp? Just because this graphic is described as an "optical illusion" doesn't mean if i don't understand how it works i should except its true.
Theres a difference between a simple optical illusion compared to a moving figure that so happens to not only completely change direction but can change feet stance. As i watched the graphic i took clear note she was turning clockwise, and when she changed minutes later she was anti. Such drastic changes don't just HAPPEN and the sooner you learn to think for yourself instrad of letting the word optical illusion do the thinking for you the better. I cant change it with "my mind" at my whim, but i never expected i'd be able to.
Congratulations to the people who have been able to do it, because from what i can see you have the power of changing a moving photo, which is prity damn impressive. It tickles my wtfhow button greatly.
Dont take this post to be an insult.
