Left side? Right Side?

I'm right sided. I have been staring at the picture for five mins now trying to perceive it the other way and I can't see it!

Left sided, me. I can't make it go the other way either

Left, then right, then left

Try focusing at the shadow of the foot, you should be able to get it to change then.

im both,

i can make her spin both ways! yippe! i like that

Yeah - I can make the bitch dance to my tune!

Go baby - left, right, left, right.

Focussing on the foot works because it's the most stable part of the picture - i.e. it rotates within the same space as opposed to the other leg that is waving around all over the place.
Therefore it's easier to instuct your brain as to what it is perceiving rather than having to effectively fight against the information your eyes are giving.

It can also help to either close one eye or the other and/or stick your hand infront to block the image from the ankle up... then slowly reveal the picture again while you focus on the direction of rotation.


Interestingly, left handed people are more likely to be able to switch the direction at will - mainly because they often have developed better connections between both hemispheres of the brain.


So ner.

Maily clockwise for me....so from what i figure that makes me a day dreaming laid back person.

I can swap it though, if you look at the point at which the legs cross over its easy to do it. You make her do a figure of eight aswell looking at it this way.

Right sided for me, although doing the foot trick works too.
