Pretty cool little optical illusion/test.

"If she's spinning clockwise, you're using your right brain. Counterclockwise, your left brain. If she switches back and forth, you're balanced. Or crazy."


I can see it both ways, usually when I want but sometimes I can't get it to switch heh. When I first saw it, it was spinning clockwise. Sometimes I can even make it look like it's only spinning halfway and then switching. Weird...

Not too weird...Same for me :)

I first saw it in a much larger version, about a year ago

I vaguely remember a larger version too, I think this is one of those things that I had seen before and forgot about. I like it though.

That's pretty good.

It clearly is clockwise to my eyes. I don't see it switching at all.

Same here. I can usually see both sides of illusions like this, but I cant figure out the counter-clockwise deal...

But really, I'm not surprised - my right brain has total control over me. Fuck the left, with all its stupid "logic" and "rationality".

Clockwise here.

Clockwise for me and if wouldn't switch. then I sat for a second and thought about math and chemistry and it switched for a second but then right back again. I'm definately a right brained individual though, all artsy and stuff.

Anybody with trouble trying to get it to switch, try missmacabre's method and glance away then back quickly. Maybe that will help. Also, I've found that doing things with your right hand really makes it go counter-clockwise in a hurry, could just be for me.

Okay how does it do that!
