I don't know about you but I could stare at this thing til the end of time and I still only see it going clockwise.

really? i can only see it going counter clockwise right now. let me try again.

i can make it go either way, but i saw it going clockwise first. which is weird because i'm definitely left-brained

 

[stilleto]

i've been trying hard to get it to go clockwise. I did, for about 5 seconds, then it switched.

i'd have to try raelly hard to see it counter clockwise....

i'm very right brained so not surprising

 

[borris]

just stare at the legs and you can make it go either way

 

[velvett]

There's no way someone could see that as counter clockwise.

I can see it go both ways.

I don't think it is really an indicator of what side of your bain you use. It's just an illusion and you can see it different ways depending on when you look. The reason it works is because at one instant when the two legs are 'crossing over' then one of the legs dissapears which tricks the brain as you don't know if the one leg has gone in front of or behind the other.

Same here...

I saw it go clockwise very clearly when I looked at it. But when I was reading the text to the left and saw it only out of the corner of my eye (as if it were *noise* in the background) it was clearly going counterclockwise for a short time, that is, until I focused on it again, then it moved clockwise.

Wrong. I've looked at it several times and it only goes counter clockwise for me, nothing I can do to see it any other way.
