This is mental! Clockwise or Counter?



If you see this lady turning in clockwise you are using your right brain. If you see it the other way, you are using left brain.

Some people do see both ways, but most people see it only one way.

See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain's current. BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN BE SEEN
Experimentation has shown that the two different sides, or hemispheres, of the brain are responsible for different manners of thinking. The following table illustrates the differences between left-brain and right-brain thinking:

Left Brain / Right Brain

Logical / Random

Sequential / Intuitive

Rational / Holistic

Analytical / Synthesizing

Objective / Subjective

Looks at parts / Looks at wholes

Most individuals have a distinct preference for one of these styles of thinking. Some, however, are more whole-brained and equally adept at both modes. In general, schools tend to favor left-brain modes of thinking, while downplaying the right-brain ones. Left-brain scholastic subjects focus on logical thinking, analysis, and accuracy. Right-brained subjects, on the other hand, focus on aesthetics, feeling, and creativity.

I see her turning with no clothes on.
So I guess that means that both sides of my brain are in my pants.

My view flip flops at roughly 1- to 2-minute intervals. But as hard as I try, I can't will it to switch.

Seems to depend on the task one is doing before looking at the image. When I went to do something on a paper and came back all I can see is her going counter.

Not sure how it works... but I've found a way to control the switch easier... focus on her pivot foot (scroll down to cover the rest of the body)... imagine it turning the opposite direction to what you were seeing before... might take a while... and when you succeed there, unscroll and look at the rest of the body.

you kind of have to force yourself to say that what you're seeing in front is actually at the back... and after a while, you'll begin to see it like that.
