The Spinning Dancing Girl - 17th July

The "Spinning Dancing Girl" image was supposed to gauge whether a person uses his left or right side of the brain more than the other. Here's the picture below. What can you see? Can you see it Clock-wise? or Anti-clockwise or both directions?



If I'm not mistaken. Seeing it go one clockwise means you're left-brained and the opposite for anti-clockwise. Seeing it in moving in both directions show you use both your left and right. But, there is in fact a trick to look at it in both. Either:-

1> See it in one direction. Stop and close your eyes and imagine it going in the direction. Open your eyes and it will turn the other way.

2> As the leg reaches horizontal position (flat, face is 90 deg. away from you). Blink. It will turn.

Test it out. It is one of my favorite optical illusions.
