I just spent about fifteen minutes squinting at this. For the life of me I could only see her spinning counterclockwise, and then I realized that if I focus on her feet I can trick my brain into seeing it both ways. Freaky.

Right Brain v Left Brain

THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.
