The Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

Counter-clockwise is an American term. Anti-clockwise is British.

wtf she turns clockwise only.
>> Anonymous
if you watch the foot she spins on, it will go one way. If you want to switch it, watch the shadow of the aloft foot. It will reverse itself.

?? I can only see her spinning counter clockwise. I've stared at the animated image long and hard, and everything about it suggests that that's the only way she spins. I can see it both ways in the still, but not the animated... Odd...

She spins clockwise only for me. I was able to get it to change once, but I couldnt do it again.

The first time I saw it it was spinning clockwise. Then, I focused on the foot shadow and made it turn counter-clockwise. Now I can't seem to make it spin clockwise again.

You know it occurred to me... do we mean clockwise from the top-down, or clockwise from the bottom up? From the top down I see her counter-clockwise.

I follow the way the outer foot is rotating around the body

once you've learned to switch the direction, try making her constantly face you. if she's spinning CW, switch to CCW when her aloft foot hits the left side of the screen, then switch back to CW when the foot hits the right side. the effect will be a sort of can-can dance, always keeping her foot pointed towards you.

Look at her foot. The shadow ONLY makes sense if she's spinning counter-clockwise. Anyone who says differently is blind.

yeah, that's why I hate this test. I can force myself to see it both ways, and both suck for different reasons. One view the shadow is correct and in the other the shadow is fucked. However, in the view where the shadow is fucked, the woman is spinning like you would expect to see a woman spin in real life, while in the view where the woman's shadow is correctly spinning, you view the woman from an angle as if you were imposed 4 feet under the ground

So is there actually a trick to it or are you all fucking retarded and the .gif just starts spinning in the other direction after a while?
Sure seems like it.
>> Anonymous
No, there's a trick. I got it to work by blurring my eyes, then looking back real fast while picturing it one way or another.

I also don't see any issues with the shadow. On the one hand, the light source is coming from the front, on the other (clockwise, the one that everyone claims is messed up) the light source is simply coming from the back.

how the hell can you see her spinning counter clockwise? If you're that retarded, decompile the damn GIF and look at it.
>> Anonymous
just concentrate on the bottom foot, and it will change direction. normally i see it clockwise.
>> Anonymous
ok, to settle this, she is actually spinning CW. When you see it CCW it is a visual trick. It's all very simple: the "shadow" is actually a reflection (it's obvious when you think about it) and think about perspective; as things get farther away from you they appear to diminish in size, which is what her outer foot does when she rotates CW. If, however, she is rotating CCW, that means that foot is magically growing and shrinking.

Watch the image carefully. after a long amount of time she just goes the other way.

There's a very easy way to see it spin counter-clockwise if you're certain that it only spins clockwise and vice versa. Just look to the side and have it in the corner of your eye. Try to visualize it spin the other way. It will.

I usually see it clockwise, if I look to the side and blur my eyes she goes counter clockwise when I look back, I look at the bottom foot and it goes back to clockwise.
Odd how it says I'm more right brained, yet I follow logic, facts, science and atheist. Not really all that accurate. Not that you can really generalize all that into left vs right.
>> she isnt spinning Anonymous
she is just moving leg side to side
>> Anonymous
The whole point of this thing is to show that visual accuity, no matter how good, can be tricked by our mind's ability to process and interpret that information. We assume it's a woman because it's shaped like a woman. We assume it's spinning because it seems to resemble a pattern we recognize, but actually it's a 2-d shade that's changing over time.

There are some inconsistencies with reality. 2 I noted are that she appears to be spinning on her heel, as her toes are changing proportional distance from her feet. Secondly the "reflection" of the raised leg doesn't keep the proportion of a reflection from that angle. It's actually too short.

Anyone else got any?

after figuring out this gif only spins in one direction due to the foot illusion i can no longer get her to make a full 360 degree spin lol she spins 180 then switches directions to do another 180 and repeat the frame where both her legs come together to leave no space inbetween is what mess you up...

Same GIF gets posted every day. Same retarded arguments break out. There's no right or wrong way that she's spinning. It's an optical illusion and can be seen going both ways. Anyone who says differently is either ignorant or retarded.

ok the black one is a little difficult but the white one can switch with ease... just watch the leg thats sticking out on the white one think of it as a pendulum then look at her head.. she spins the direction that you think the pendulum is swinging first. look away think of it swinging to the other side first and then look at the head. spinning the other way

normally clockwise for me.
did mental math for about 2 minutes, then looked, and she was going counterclockwise
sang a little song to myself for about a minute and looked, and she was staring straight ahead with her legs wobbling back and forth, morphing into one another. continued singing and she worked her way back to clockwise.

whether she spins clockwise or counter-clockwise depends on which way you look at it. one thing is true though; she's spinning in one direction only and doesn't change. if you imagine and look at her from bird's eye view, she'd be spinning clockwise, but if you look at her from the ground, she'd be spinning counter-clockwise. it's the same as a clockface, if you looked at a clock from the back, the hands would actually move counterclockwise (if you could actually see the hands from the back..)
I'm pretty surprised not many people have figured this out. Then again I'm probably completely missing the illusion and can only see her spin one way

It's a 3d model spinning clockwise. Fail.

not a fail. Heres how to switch it in your mind. If you see her spinning clockwise, cover her from the waist up with your hand so you can only see her legs, now imagine as the extended leg passes the center leg that it is passing behind the streight leg not infront do this for a few turns and then remove your hand you should see he going counterclockwise. this may only last a few seconds as the logical part of your brain catches on and corrects it going "no wait, it was spinning the other way"

if you don't realize that she switches angles because of the way you're looking at her and not because of the gif, then you're an idiot.

it's in how you look at her.

at first glance she turns clockwise, hoever if you focus on her shoulders you can then see her turning counter-clockwise. likewise, you can then stare at her foot and she will then go clockwise again.

the easiest way to do it is to concentrate on her foot. cover everything and let her foot do the switching for you.

Basically in order to believe she's spinning in another direction, you have to try to make your brain believe that at a certain point you're looking at the back of her instead of the front, and vice-versa.
>> Anonymous_Weasel
im not sure if this is just some optical illusion or not. it doesnt matter. it changes the way it spins when i first look at it every time. then i can switch it the other way around. i even managed to switch the "clock-ise" "counter-clockwise models. not sure ifs a brain thing or not. dont care if she logically is spining one way or the other. i think thats the point of the thing. but i can trick myself into thinking its spinning one or the other way, and change it at will. believe me or not, i dont care. i know i can. so fuck off you all smell like fish!

"This news article, like many others, ignores the true source of this optical illusion and instead claims it is a quick test to see if you use more of your right brain or left brain. This is utter nonsense, but the “right-brain/left brain” thing is in the public consciousness and won’t be going away anytime soon."

Guys you are missing a big piece of the puzzle that proves she is IN FACT turning clockwize. Look at the stationary foot. When that is pointing to the left you can clearly see by looking at the toes that her foot is rotating clockwise.
