If you see this picture moving
CLOCKWISE, that means you're using the
RIGHT PART of your brain more; that which governs intuitive, holistic, and random processes and is more visual and creative. You see the whole picture first then focus on the details after.
If you see the woman rotating
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE, that means you're more
LEFT-BRAINED: logical, analytical, and sequential. You tend to see the details first, then put them together to form a bigger picture.
The first time I saw this image, it was turning counter-clockwise and it lasted for a few seconds then shifted to a clockwise rotation. This is so baffling. I thought it was a hoax 'coz it kept shifting from my point of view. But the ultimate test is to have another person view it with you simultaneously. I tried it with my wife and we kept viewing it differently. I guess that only goes to show that we complement each other in our way of thinking.
