I'm stuck on anticlockwise, looking at the feet/shadow doesnt work for me. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Using my link, I concentrate on the shadow legs until I can see them as two dimensional, like a pendulum swinging back and forth. Then I try to image the foot shadow swinging to the foreground when moving from right to left. Then I look up to the dancer to get the clockwise movement. To switch back I image the foot shadow swinging behind when moving from right to left. It's easy to do with the shadow because there's no body movements in view reinforcing the old perception.

I'm like everyone else, I saw clockwise but eventually managed counter-clockwise. When I look at her my tendency is to will her to spin in the other direction, instead of changing my perspective. My head hurts when I try to make it change.

When I opened the link, it was counterclockwise for the first 2 seconds, then it switched to clockwise. Hasn't switched back, although it does randomly stop for a moment sometimes.

Oh, it's much easier to make it reverse with this one. I couldn't do it with the other until after.

I'm biased towards clockwise.

If I make her leg go anti-clockwise, her foot and head spin in opposite directions exorcist-style.

I first saw her going counter clock wise but once i got her to go clockwise, I can't get her to go back to counter.


** I can do it both ways at will now, I guess cause I first saw it counter, that is my default?

** I thought I read soewhere that the whole left brain v right brain was bunk?

The popular conception of left brain-right brain differences is oversimplified, and the self-help stuff like 'get in tough with your right brain' is bunk. But the two hemispheres are specialized and there's an element of truth to a lot of what you hear about it.

Interesting.

When I first opened the page, I saw the dancer spinning counter-clockwise. Then I read the text on the left, and when I looked back, she was spinning clockwise.

I'd go so far as to say that this has more to do with dominant eyes than "brainedness."
