Is this image still or moving?

Definitely still but looks like it's moving.

If you see counter clockwise you are left brained. Analytical, logical, looks at parts, etc.

If you see clockwise you are right brained. Random, synthesizing, sees big picture, etc.


I see her spinning clockwise the whole way but am definately a left brained type person.

Very intersting.

I got her to turn counter clockwise finally. Naturally, everytime I look at it, she is turning clockwise. After a few seconds I can get it to switch. Not sure why, but that is awesome.

She is always spinning counter clockwise for me. Can look away, focus for an extended period of time, or attempt to focus on what could be clockwise movement. But doesn't matter, will stay counter clockwise.

If it wasn't for other people saying they see her moving clockwise (the majority it seems) it wouldn't have even seemed remotely interesting.

I prefer cyclonic or anticyclonic.

Unfortunately she only spun anticyclonic for me. :(

Yes, I can control which way she's spinning now.

The way you change it is by deciding if her foot that is sticking out is closest to you at its high point or low point... If you see it closest at the high point, she's spinning counterclockwise, if you see it closest at the low point, she's spinning clockwise

But the foot is at the low point when her front is towards you (if you can't tell which side is her front, then I'm really sorry) and her leg is stuck out forward. She then proceeds to turn to her right, which would be clockwise. I'm not seeing at all how she could be viewed as clounterclockwise and she isn't switching for me either. Interesting that several see it different.
