February 26, 2008 – 2:42 pm

Which way is the figure rotating? It’s up to you. Some people see her spinning to the right, others to the left, a small group of people can see her rotating one way and then the other.

An article in the Australian Sunday Times about this animation states ” 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.” The article also includes a list of right brain and left brain activities:
