clockwise or CCW?

[Ika]

ahhh she started out spinning CW, and i thought there was no way she could spin CCW, then I tried the feet trick.. creepy!

 

[Throckmorton]

The first time I saw CW. I just went back to the site and now it's CCW. Maybe it depends on where in the rotation she is when you first look.

same here.

Also, that mannequin has some big nips.

That was the first thing I noticed before the spinning. I guess that makes us "in-my-pants brained".

Me too! According to some personality studies, we're the smartest personality group.

Wife and I saw this tonight and argued over which way. Took a while but after slowing it down and forcing myself I could see both ways. Very cool, and not an animation trick.

 

[hdeck]

i see CW at first, but can easily switch to CCW but lookin at the reflection on the bottom. getting back to CW is harder though.

 

[Chryso]

It keeps switching on me. Is it rigged?

LOL, my four-year-old says she is "tricky".

[obligatory]all this is making my head spin[/obligatory]

I saw clockwise. Then I read it and managed to turn it around. Quite interesting.

Edit: I just went back to look at it again and I "defaulted" back to Clockwise. Very cool. We took a right vs. left brain test in Psychology class and I was basically right in between. It's funny; my best friend's left brain is basically off. He's an incredible artist and very creative, but he can't do math for his life - he's even worse than me.

 

[evident]

wtf?! i can't get it to go cw.... is my right brain dead?

 

[The Boston Dangler]

this thing is BS. the video keeps switching CW/CCW, confirmed with 3 people here.

I just want to point out that this whole "right brain vs left brain" is basically a bunch of bull cr@p, its not like your "left brain is off" if you can't do math. Its more like the different taste buds on the tongue, spread out on every part, but maybe more concentrated on some areas than others. Its silly imo to think like someone sux at art because the right side of their brain isn't working good or anything like that.

Also, I find it even more unlikely that this test shows anything about left and right brainedness at all. Its based on whether your look at her feat first or her head. Personally Its probably closer to a sexual preference test, i looked immediately at her bewbies and so she went one way, but maybe if i was gay i would start at her feet and she would go the other way. That makes about as much sense as saying that a rotating image provides some deep understanding of how your brain works. Kinda like that stupid doctor who told my parents I had ADD because i looked out the window when I was at his office. Well no shit i looked out the window, I sure as heck don't want to be there, and seeing me look out the window for 10 seconds doesn't give you the right to say I have some stupid made up medical conditions. Anyways, back on topic; this test is BS & so is ADD.

Yep i minimized it for a couple of mins and it switched from cw to ccw. Then back to cw then back to ccw.

 

[umbrella39]

I see both depending on which lower corner the foot is in when I start watching. It is easy to switch it back and forth.

 

[Mo0o]

I keep getting CW even though i left brained

 

[Xylitol]

counter-clock wise at first
If I focus, I can make it go which ever way I want

it means you're feminine

 

[hzl eyed grl]

At first I saw CCW and could not get myself to see it CW. However, when I was reading the list of traits and I'd scrolled down a bit and only her foot/leg was showing, I started to see her turn CW.

 

[LordMorpheus]

I can see both, but looking at the reflection I think it's a CCW spin.

 

[wahoyaho]

Just saw this picture for the first time. I always though I was more dominant in my left brain but when I first saw it I was seeing a CW rotation :x After looking at it for a few seconds it twitched to a CCW rotation and then right back to a CW rotation, this is a cool picture

Took a few minutes, but the trick is easy. Her feet swings at an angle, so either she's tilting forward or backwards. If you look at the tilt as forward = CW, if you look at the tilt as backward = CCW. Pretty fun to switch it back and forth from CW to CCW Once you see it in your head how the mind can inteperate it both ways, it's not hard at all.

Ah, was just looking at it and it's even easier if you look at the waist/butt area.

 

[gorcorps]

I always see it CW the first time, but can force myself to see the CCW.

 

[dennilfloss]

I can switch it within seconds. It did start clockwise though.

 

[XxPrOdiGyxX]

What does it mean if you see both? I initially saw it as counter-clockwise then I look at it a second later and I see clockwise. I look at it again and it's CCW....and so on.

 

[darkxshade]

I initially saw it clockwise and eventually over time managed to switch to the counter.

Question is: If I practice my ability to swap between the 2 circular motions, will it strengthen/enhance my right hemisphere?

It will increase your ability to rub yellow snow into beady little trapper eyes.
