cool test. First saw it counter, then after a few studies I was able to change at will

This is a only an optical illusion and has nothing to do with the pop psychology attached to it.

Try blinking very rapidly. Look at her foot, cover the rest of her if necessary, and imagine just the foot spinning in the desired direction. Imagine a wheel rotating in the desired direction. Look away from the image for a few seconds, then back. Focus on the moment the foot moves behind the leg (and is symmetrical). Try different techniques at the same time.

The foot focus finally worked. I had to tell myself she was going clockwise and imagining what the silhouette of the foot would look like clockwise. Once I did that it was like a light bulb and she just changed directions. Really weird and really cool.

Anyone see her going back and forth?

yea, does she stay facing away or towards you?
For me she was always facing away.

Re: Right brain v. Left brain test - spinning dancer
 

Facing away...

Edit: This is not possible though because if you look at her chest it faces us during her rotation...

It's a gimmick. It changes direction, but the interval of each sequence is very long, by today's ADHD standards, and is irregularly changed.

You'll see this on Snopes before long, I promise you.
