I stare at the shadow and tell myself which leg she is standing on. Concentrate hard. i can willingly and easily change her whenever now. At first i could ONLY see her left and my dad could ONLY see her right... it was soo frustrating! you have to stare at the shadow. I stare at the shadow and tell myself which leg she is standing on.

There's only one sequence of images, and it can be seen either way. Sorry, Davis and Stevo, you’re both wrong. There’s only one sequence of images, and it can be seen either way.

She doesn't change directions, and she is absolutely going counter-clockwise. I can tell this not by looking at her, but by looking at the shadows. You can only see the shadow of her up (working) leg when it is behind her (relative to the viewer). The light must be behind her, and when her leg is closer to the viewer, her shadow is off the page. Test it with a light bulb and two sticks if you don't believe me. Don’t trust your eyes, trust science. She doesn’t change directions, and she is absolutely going counter-clockwise.

There is nothing to this spinning girl. The original picture alternates spinning left then to the right, it just does it very subtely and with variations. eg, it will spin to the left once then continue spinning to the right. IT has nothing to do with using the left side of the brain and the right, Just keep looking at it and it will change, or another thing which affects it is click it twice with the mouse, and on the second time keep the mouse down and drag at the image this should change it.

Before I read the post it was going back and forth, then I started reading and it only was going CW, then I scrolled down and it switched, then back and forth depending on my eye position I’m with dan.

Now it about 60% cw and 40% ccw. I don't know if it's a trick but if you just look away and read the article or stare a few inches to the side the image will change in your peripheral vision.
