Counter only for me. I can't possibly see how she could be moving clockwise. Pretty cool.

Its pretty crazy to look at the same picture and be convinced its moving one way then see it moving the complete opposite direction.

I manage to flick between both views by adjusting my focus point. If i focus clear on the dancer i see her clockwise and if i focus to the left and strain my vision she will begin to move the other way. She moves alot more fluid in the clockwise motion though

Big clockwise guy here. I managed to see it the other way momentarily, but not while I was looking directly at it, I have to look at the words below/to the left and I can see it change every once in a while, but only for a second or so. I can't make it continually spin counter-clockwise.

EDIT - Here's a cool little site that makes it easier to see it both ways - A hack of the spinning girl illusion

I saw it clockwise first, then it changed to anti and can't change it back unless i go off the screen and back again. Now even that doesn't work. It's completely anti.

I'm a bit sceptical about all this though, how do we know it's not the website that spins it the way it's going and then changes it at random points just to mess with your head?

It reminds me of being on acid. My friend and i walked past a massive poster when we were tripping and the womans face on it was moving. He told me it was the drugs messing with our perceptions but i was adamant that the picture was actually a hologram and that's why the image changed. Turns out it was the drugs

The easy way to see her change directions is to look at her foot and the shadow underneath it.

rofl, that thing is a bunch of bull. It's basically an optical illusion that your brain processes as a 3D image. Read more about it here. I thought this male/female brain test was fun though. Apparently I have an androgynous brain.

It's an optical illusion? Are you kidding me?

Nope, it's a 2D image that switches back and forth, which your brain processes as a 3D image. It is a clever equivalent of the vase/two people kissing picture.

I first saw it spinning anti-clockwise until I read the "focus" part and now I can only see it clockwise. I can't go back to anti though. :o
