The Sweetest Thing

3ofswords:

my aunt sent me this illusion and i still freak out over it.
take a look. does the lady spin clockwise or counter-clockwise to you?
if she spins clockwise then you use more of the right side of your brain.
if she spins counter-clockwise then you use more of your left side.

i think it’s cool because it’s one continuous image and those “glitches” you see aren’t really there- it’s one side of your brain taking over the other.
i can make her spin both ways, so i don’t know what that means..
but…

I can see it both ways, but clockwise was definitely the first direction I saw. If I concentrate I can see it counter clockwise, but I guess that means I’m right brain oriented. Which totally makes sense bcs I’m left handed.
