Clockwise or Counter-Clockwise?

Very cool, it's not a trick image. I can get her to switch direction without her even doing a full rotation.

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.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses logic
detail oriented
facts rule
words and language
present and past
math and science
can comprehend
knowing
acknowledges
order/pattern perception
knows object name
reality based
forms strategies
practical
safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
uses feeling
"big picture" oriented
imagination rules
symbols and images
present and future
philosophy & religion
can "get it" (i.e. meaning)
believes
appreciates
spatial perception
knows object function
fantasy based
presents possibilities
impetuous
risk taking

Counter-clockwise, noob.

I see clockwise (turning to her right), which makes zero sense given my personality, college major, profession, etc.

Definitely using my right brain though, I do see a nipple.

I see only clockwise, and I can't get it to rotate differently.

Both for me but way more often for clockwise. I suck at math so I'm not surprised.

Heh, that's the first thing I noticed.

I figured it out. The image in hosted in Australia, so it is spinning the wrong way like their drain. :p

wtf people see that as turning counter-clockwise?

woah now it's turning counter-clockwise when I looked at it again. Weird.

...nope, clockwise again. It looks like it's fucking switching directions. It's making me angry.

I can only see it clockwise, as well...I tried to to make the image go counter-clockwise, even using the shadow. The shadow tactic didn't work and I see her nipples, too.

I see her turning right. I can see her turning left if I concentrate.

Yeah I saw it clockwise at first, then I looked back at it and it was suddenly counter-clockwise. Weird.

I saw counter first, now it's going clockwise and I can't get it to go back

Clockwise, can't get it to go the other way.

Your mom goes the other way.

how the fuck can a vertical axis rotate clock or counter clock wise? I see it spin from left to right.

edit, damn it, now its right to left

Clockwise first, when I scrolled down and back up it was going counter, but now it's back to clockwise and seems to be staying that way.

it is possible to lay a clock face up

In high school we took a left brain/right brain test and I scored so far on the right brain side I thought something was wrong with the way I added it up.

this isn't a clock though. It is a person. Do I turn the head or the feet "face" up?

I can switch it up at will. It's really trippy to have it sway back and forth.

what?

Think of her leg that is sticking out as the hand of the clock. This isn't difficult.

counter. Comunist biches say otherwise.

Well shucks, I came back to this thread and now it's counterclockwise.

I know it's dorky, but I can switch it now if I track one of her hands and move my head in the same way I want it to rotate.

At first, all I could see is counter-clockwise. Now I'm seeing both. The image is kind of freaking me out.

Anyone else notice the slight error in her shadow?

same.

It's the way her head's tilted, why would you spin the other way with your head tilted like that?

I'm trying so hard to get her to change.

It's weird, I can see the frame jumps and if I stare for a while I get fractions of a second where she goes the other way, but I can't get her to turn the other way. Whatever. I hate math these days, although I loved my Logic courses.

Holy fucks I focused on her down hand for a bit and now she's fucking spinning the other way, her head's bent the other way...WHAT THE FUCK.

Even if I take a break she's stuck in whatever rotation I last left her at, I can't change over quickly. I think that's more telling than anything, I can use both sides but can't switch between the two quickly?

Hmm...two minutes later I can change quicker but I need to blink. Oh shit. Now she's just wagging back and forth from left to right and right to left. THIS SHIT IS BIZARRE.

So, how is this supposed to work? Your brain "ignores" the frames that don't jive with the interpretation it's going for?

I can make her spin both ways easily.

This one is harder.

Well as a shadow, as the limbs pass the body they could be infront or behind the torso. it can be interpreted both ways kinda like this shitty drawing i did

http://www.the-nextlevel.com/board/a...1&d=1192444882

it can be either pointing forward or backwards, neither is wrong, but your brain can only interpret one direction at a time.

The shadow is clearly going counter clockwise. Cover up the whole screen but for the shadow. I was watching her go clockwise for a bit while the shadow went counter.

It seems to work when I partially close my eyes and rotate them half-circle.

Weird. I just stared at the shadow for about 10 seconds, and now when I look back at the chick, she's counter-clockwise.

edit: But now back to clockwise.

Yeah, I find the easiest way to make her switch is by focusing on the lowered foot.
15 Oct 2007, 11:33 AM

Still can't make it switch.

For the record, the image itself is only going from the right to the left.

I see counter-clockwise and I fit more with the right hemisphere.

It started Clockwise. I concentrated at shadow. Now its moving counter clockwise. I look at shadow again. its back to clockwise. I can make it switch at will.

I have to really concentrate to make me see it counter-clockwise, it's clockwise every time I look at it. Her grounded foot is messed up, though telling myself I'm looking at the bottom or the top of it is how I can switch between the two.
