this is really weird at first i was only seeing her going counter-clockwise and thought the rest of you must have been joking around or something. i could not see how she would be going clockwise... then i looked at her feet and then when i looked at her whole body again she was going clockwise and now i can't get her to go anti-clockwise again...
edit: ok i covered half the pic as suggested and now she's going anti-clockwise again lol crazy gif

woah.... i thought she was going clockwise, then i read the answer, and looked at the picture again and i could swear it switched to turn the other way. anticlockwise. wow. Is that cause i am stronger on the right side, but when i switch to reading words.... my left brain kicks up so I see it anticlockwise instead?

hehe... if this isn't a trick, it's kinda fun. I concentrate on my right side of the brain, and it turns clockwise, then i switch to left side mode and it turns anticlockwise. fun! but takes a while though, so not sure if it's real.

The gif is rigged. If you think otherwise, it doesn't matter which way you see her turning, as both sides of your brain are devoid of activity.

Open up the gif in a gif editor then and point out how it is rigged. I did and as far as I can tell it isn't rigged in the least.

clockwise. took me about 5 minutes of really looking at it to be able to switch back and forth, still takes me about 10 seconds to do it though

this is so weird, it's like something clicks in your head that goes 'she's spinning this way' and then suddenly you see it happen

I don't see how it's possible to see other way around, but apparently other people do -_-;;

I don't see what this has to do with left or right side of the brain, but I see it both ways pretty easily (I can't switch quickly once I start seeing it spin, but I get a relatively random result every time I open it, or take my focus away from it EX: I opened the news site it was spinning counter clock wise, I read the article and part way through I looked back at the image and it was going clock wise).

Try reopening the image later, and maybe even staring at one side (either left or right, depending on which way you saw it spinning first).

EDIT: At first I was getting her spinning anti clockwise a couple times in a row, and now I'm getting her spinning clockwise a bunch of times in a row. I guess I've engaged the right side of my brain for the moment?

EDIT2: Oop, back to counter-clockwise as soon as I tried to logic a way to make it spin the way I wanted (by not looking at the picture and imagining her spinning one way). But now I can't go back. Maybe it does have some merit about what side of the brain is dominant (even if for some people that switches about a lot).

Someone who only sees it spinning counter-clockwise try drawing a picture or something creative, and then right after look at the picture and tell us if you see it going clockwise.

The gif is rigged. If you think otherwise, it doesn't matter which way you see her turning, as both sides of your brain are devoid of activity.

Spoilered cause it's pretty much a retarded argument to have but if that were true "logic," then when the first time I saw the image and I tried holding the x in the corner of my window to make it stop, and then releasing it to make it start again, it wouldn't have changed direction at the exact moment I released it (or at least, for the number of times I did it, that's insanely unlikely).
Edit: Oop, nevermind. Charlie already proved it beyond a doubt that it isn't fixed (very nice post btw). Logic is just a legit retard.


Actually, now I'm pretty much convinced it has nothing to do with right/left sides of the brain, because if I look at it from my peripheral vision up and to the left, it goes clockwise, if I look from down and to the right, it goes counter-clock wise, and I can switch back and forth in under 5 seconds. EDIT: Infact, it doesn't even matter which way I look. I can make it go both ways.
