Which way is this dancer spinning – clockwise or counter-clockwise?
NOTE: If the picture is choppy or grainy, click on it and look at it in a separate window…
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
Most of us would see the dancer turning counter-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |
From The Daily Telegraph
For what it’s worth, she went counter-clockwise for me. Then I "made" her go clockwise, and now I can’t get it back to counter-clockwise.
