The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

dammit dammit dammit.

I can NOT get it to counter-clockwise.
I stare at corners, let my focus go hazy, try looking away, and even try covering my left eye on the assumption that my right eye is more closely associated with my left-brain.

nothing nothing nothing.

Guess I'm REALLY right-brained or something.

Try following the shadow with your eyes. It worked like a charm for me.

To all of you who can only see clockwise,

How do you explain that the foot's shadow disappears at the wrong time? The only way it makes physical sense is for the foot's shadow to disappear while in the front and thus out of our view under the frame.

At least this is the way I can only make actual sense of it. Then again this is a mind game so maybe I just can't see it make sense the other way even though I can actually make it spin clockwise for short periods of time.

Okay, I'm BARELY starting to get something.
This is weird.

I have the dancer more towards the center of my screen and one poker table in the upper right corner. If I stare at the poker table while trying to remain aware of the dancer then I can start to see it as counter-clockwise but only for brief spurts and only if I have absolutely no focus on it.

stare at the left side of the animation at the point where her hand passes by and imagine she starts out her ccw spin at this point, and don't pay attention to the rest of the animation.

IT WORKED!!!!! I had to cover the rest of her up at first, but GREAT SUCCESS.

Now I can sleep at night.

If you look slightly below the point of her hand and you then look up, it changes for me.
I can actually have her spin only half way and then half way back again for 2-3 times until I mess up.

i saw it spinning both ways. more anti-clockwise then clockwise though.

But what [censored] tilts me the most. WHICH WAY IS IT ACTUALLY SPINNING IN REALITY

[MicroBob]

fabian's way does absolutely nothing for me.

[Klompy]

micro, stare at the shadow

I just stared at stared at the top left of my screen and imagined in my mind that she was turning the other way and looked and she was. Then I practiced closing my eyes and imagining her turning the other way and then opening my eyes and presto she was turning the other way. Takes a little practice but I can get her to go either way at will this way.
