Which way is the woman turning – clockwise or counter-clockwise? Click here to  find out what it reveals. What we call counter-clockwise some parts of the world calls anti-clockwise BTW

Apparently a lot of people can see her moving in either direction at will. No such luck for me though.

    Clockwise. I can’t see it any other way. And I spent about 5 minutes trying.

    PS – Is she wearing any clothes?

    Both, pretty much at will though it is easier to make it go clockwise.

    P.S. – No, that girl is naked.

    BTW, I’d consider myself *very* left-brained. I simply can’t make her go counter-clockwise.

    I’m fairly convinced that it’s all a ploy to get people to stare at a nude figure for as long as possible.

    You can trace an ‘arc’ formed by, say, her hand, and it’s *clearly* going clockwise. There’s no other way to view it.

    Whoa! Just got it.

    The key is to stare *solely* at the center, like her chest. I have my eye like 2″ from the monitor covering the whole image. And I can get it to reverse that way. And then I can back up and watch it go counter-clockwise. For a while. And then it suddenly switches.

    I couldn’t understand some parts of this article Right Brain or Left, but I guess I just need to check some more resources regarding this, because it sounds interesting.
