I saw it counter-clockwise first, and then was able to change it a few times. Pretty cool stuff. The description on counter-clockwise is also really accurate for me.

well it's gonna seem like will when you're staring at it 'trying' to look at it the other way, then when it changes you're like "oh it worked!!"

that gif doesnt do the original illusion justice:

also, left- or right-brainedness doesnt matter at all in which way you see the rotation, since it can easily go both ways.

anti clockwise, cant see it moving clockwise, maybe I'll give it a try and focus on it

I'm left brained LOL O,o

Btw I've read something about if you are right handed you use more the left side of the brain and viceversa. I am mostly left-handed tho, but for example I use the mouse with my right hand ;O Plus I use the right leg on football (the one american guys call soccer) and I kinda suck with the left one lol

HOLY SHIT

At first, it was counter-clockwise, and I thought the clockwise people were shittig everybody.
But then I traced it with my finger superpositioning a clockwise movement,
and now I see it clockwise and can't go back... W T F

Hm personally I can "switch" from clockwise to anti-clockwise (or vice-versa) anytime.

RECALIBRATE ASAP

I noticed that when I perceive her moving clockwise, her right leg is in front

and vice versa for counter-clockwise, weird eh

Actually, to "swicth", just pretend the front leg you see is actually the back leg AND the other leg (if you think the front leg is the left one, pretend it's the right and back one, then focus for a little while).

I think it shows if you're right brained or left on the first time you see it. And i guess right and left doesn't mean stupid and smart. For example in korea high school is divided into two sections. One which is more focused on math and science and while the other is more focused on social studies and language 문과.(But theres others too like technology, music, art etc) It probably measures what you're better at.

You guys are focusing on one thing too much. Look at the whole image or just stare at the background/other aspects of the monitor. Then you will clearly see its clockwise.
Looking at one aspect means that you are observing any glitches in the animation.
