Left dominant.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)05:55 No.1258721
right dominant. i even told my brother to take a look at it and tell me what he sees. we had
different directions most of the time.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)05:56 No.1258722
I only see it spinning clockwise, I gotta try really fuckin hard to see it spinning counter
clockwise.

I can only see clockwise. Can't for the life of me see counter at all.
>> [_] Dewbud !!W+FiatKseZh 05/11/10(Tue)06:13 No.1258730
I've been drawing for about 3 hours.
I can't even make it go counter clockwise when I try.

Guys, look at the fucking shadow. There's only one direction it CAN be spinning.

dude the shadow starts spinning the other way too. when me'n my bro watched this i was like...NOW
it's goin counterclock - and he's like - nope still goin clockwise...i have to concetrate really
fucking hard to make it spin counterclock tho
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)06:43 No.1258743
For years it went clockwise. Only today could I get it to go clockwise -- and now I can't get it
to go back. There's something about the shadow that can help you reverse the directions, though...
Fuckin' miracles. Fuckin' Optical Illusions - how do they work?

ive always been able to get this thing to switch back and forth at will between clockwise and
counter-clockwise, but that's probably because i'm ambidextrous. The shadow total swaps
directions as well
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)06:50 No.1258750
lawls I'm making them switch~ easy peasy~

Same here, switching works easily now that i practiced it (just focus on the toes of the shadow's
feet)
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)08:12 No.1258772
Easiest way to change them is to concentate on the woman, and draw clockwise or counterclockwise
circles in the air depending on what you want to change it to.
Like you're doing the 'whoop dee fucking da' gesture.

I can see both.

i... i can only see it counterclockwise.... HOLY SHIT

DAMNIT OP!
fuck fuck fuck!
it went clockwise the first time, now it's stuck on counter-clockwise, damn you
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)09:59 No.1258833
She keeps switching back and forth from both directions for me.. She's also switching which leg
she's spinning on, which is the giveaway that someones designed it to change.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)10:14 No.1258850
For some reason it started out moving clockwise and a few seconds later it started moving
counter-clockwise. I then had to concentrate hard to get it to move cockwise again.

What the christ?! It's early in the morning for me, so perhaps that changes things, but initially
It was rotating counter clockwise. As I looked at my left hand, moving my index finger counter
clockwise in motion with it, the silhouette began to go clockwise!
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)10:44 No.1258869
it bounces back and forth easily. if you focus on the feet specifically, then look back at the
rest of the figure. I can make it bounce for clockwise then counter clockwise as if the figure is
hopping instead of spinning.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)10:51 No.1258872
lol I was watching her tits when she spun around
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)11:15 No.1258889
Cannot get it to turn clockwise. I'm left brain dominant.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)11:26 No.1258897
The dancer is able to switch directions in our brains because she has no depth cues. The details
defining the swinging direction of her arms, legs, and torso are too ambiguous for our visual
system to understand. The brain, having such little information, starts making assumptions. It
takes the information with which it is immediately presented and assumes a certain direction.
Mystery Solved
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)11:28 No.1258899
However, if we concentrate on other details of the dancer that counter this assumed direction,
the brain corrects the previous assumption and spins her in the opposite direction. Some people
see her changing directions every few moments; for others it takes minutes. Some claim to never
see it.
An interesting side note: People with bipolar disorder will be slower to see the dancer change
direction as their reversal rates in perception are generally more tightly fixed.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)11:28 No.1258900
So basically it has nothing to do with right or left brain.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)12:27 No.1258936
Yup. I really doubt this has anything to do with "right brain" vs. "left brain".
But the deal is what you think her swinging leg is doing. Is it swinging in front or in back of
her body? With no depth, you're basically assuming one or the other. To switch, stare at the
shadow and tell yourself what's going on and then look back at her.
>> [_] Anonymous 05/11/10(Tue)12:28 No.1258937
I don't see clockwise, to me it looks like a figure skater skating backwards. I can't make it
spin the other way because it would look wrong.

Yes I know, Wikipedia but check the damn sources if it isn't good enough for you faggots.
Spoilers: It's a 2d image.

lol makes sense. I guess why would looking at specific points first to see which direction it is
spinning mean anything?
