Is she spinning clockwise or anti clockwise?

I received this picture from an email years ago and I thought it was a delusive image, cos I could only see it turning anti-clockwise no matter how many centuries I spent staring at it. It was until recently that I was able to see it turning in both directions when my brother showed this image to the family.

My family members saw it changed in different directions all at different timings! My brother can only see it in one direction. He's heavily a left-brainer.

I just wanna find out how many of you sees the right, left, or both!



I heard that this has a close relation to whether you use your right of left brain more. In Singapore, our education system requires us to work on the left side of our brains more frequently. I believe more students/fresh grads from formal school education are the "left-brainers".

This reminds me of optical illusions actually.

Clockwise: You use more of the right side of your brains.
Anti-clockwise: You use more of the left side of your brains.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking

*Study how the image changes. When you think the foot is pointing at you, it can also be pointing at the other direction, away from you! Try covering the body and look only the the two legs!

It's the same idea as the old internet explorer OR netscape navigator logo. Not convinced? Try looking at these with a group of people, you guys will see it change direction at different times! Don't focus on it too much or you can't see it change!

More! I think both pictures belong to optical illusions rather than a "brains tester". What do you think?

This is slightly easier to see it spin in both directions, as and when you like it to.
