She looked like she was going counter
clockwise to me until I looked away and
then she started going clockwise. I love
that kind of stuff, but it kind of makes
me nauseous. LOL

Clockwise for me! It took me a while to
focus enough to make her go
counter-clockwise.

Alright! I first saw it going clockwise.
After I read what it was all about, I
went back and could only see
counter-clockwise. I no longer can see
clockwise no matter how hard I try and
it's irritating the heck out of me.
Now I can't see it counter-clockwise. I
guess I don't have as much cognitive
flexibility as people who can train there
brains to see both. I have been looking at
it for a few minutes and still can't go
counter-clockwise again.
It really has nothing to do with left vs
right brain function (would like to see
that research) but it's still fun.

I saw clockwise until I started reading
and then it went counter clockwise. I'm
going to try this on Brandon when he gets
home.

All I see is counter clockwise. When I
focus on it, I look at her sholders and
her leg and watch the direction the circle
makes as she goes around. So what does
that mean that I can't make it go
clockwise???

when i first look at it i see clockwise,
then if i look off and keep it in the
corner of my eye it will switch to
counter. then i can switch it back to
clockwise by looking down at her foot.

It means you are completely
logically-minded and aren't really
creative....just kidding!
I would try again later. Perhaps you would
be able to see it the other way. I do
think it's interesting how "monkeygirl"
(sorry forgot name) and I both saw it
clockwise until we started reading it.
From a psych perspective, it would make a
very interesting study to compare some of
these illusions with various type of
standardized cognitive tests. Does it
measure cognitive flexibility, is there
truly a component of "left vs right
brain," does it have something to do with
eye tracking, does it vary depending on
what we looked at first (i.e., the top of
the picture, the bottom, the middle or
read the print first)...? Just quickly
pulling ideas from my very tired brain.

Be thankful!!
I switched a few times when I first
started and have no idea how in the world
it happened. Now I can't go back to
counter-clockwise and I am going batty. If
I only saw it one way, I would have
stopped this a long time ago.

First she went counter-clockwise, and then
she went clockwise after I started
reading.

it took me a while but I did the thing
like bridget and looked out of the corner
of my eye and it worked, then I started
getting nauseous and had to stop.

I think it changes by itself from
clockwise to counter clockwise and then
back again.

nope, that's what i thought too. but i can
change it from counter to clockwise by
just looking down at the foot. also, nick
was always seeing it opposite from what i
was seeing it.
it's magic!
mel, i forgot to respond to your pm the
other day! i'm such a jerk! i'll get back
to you, i promise!

Ok now I think Im going nutz...
When I first opened it today, it was going
clockwise then I started reading and then
it went counter clockwise...
Now that I have sat here for a good 5
minutes watching it go back and forth, I
think Melissa has it...I think that it is
changing itself back and forth. If you
follow the arm and watch it go in a
circle, it goes the other direction after
a while.
I have to be done with it for the day or I
will get NO work done.
