Same answer as blazinhead89.

It's not fake. I can only see Clockwise, I've tried everything to make it spin in a diffrent direction, looked away, thought of half empty half full glass ideas, Nothing. I seen it flicker when trying to think of a math problem tho.

It's a mind trick, not some way to trick people.

Quote from reply on site:

"This is just too bizarre for words. I was suspicious whether this could even work, but when I looked at the image at the same time with another person and they saw the figure spin in the opposite direction as me, I began to believe it might work. I can get the figure to change directions.

My son discovered the same thing. He saw the figure spin clockwise, but his college roommate could get the figure to reverse direction when he'd think of a math problem. My eldest brother sees the figure flipping back and forth fairly rapidly, and my artist son only sees it spin clockwise."

It only spins count clockwise. But my mom said it only spins clockwise. Stupid thing. This must be like that optical illusion drawing where its two things at once. If you see both, it flips back and forth between the two. THis must be a #D one somehow, and I'm only seeing one side.

I took tons of picture using screen capture. She slowly moves in a counter clockwise direction frame by frame.

you should post them pics to see what other people see

This is some sort of explanation. I will se if I can get it to go the otehr way now...

I see both counter-clockwise and clockwise rotations.

Same ... Initially I saw counter-clockwise but it only took a couple seconds to visualize it going the other way.

" So what does the spinning dancer tell us? The whole test is more of an optical illusion than anything else, according to Steven Novella, an academic clinical neurologist at Yale University School of Medicine who blogs on NeuroLogica. When our brains process visual images to make some order or sense of the world, they have to make assumptions. The dancer is just a two dimensional image switching back and forth, but our brains process it as a three dimensional spinning object. "

well Duh!

It's an optical illusion that when you stare at, tells what the mind is thinking, or the info it's gathering, it's not fake, just a way to gather information.

I know this site is all about analyzing everything, but i mean damn... off-topic, fun Image test, would be better with simple Clockwise / Anti-Clockwise answer.

Instead of:  long disscusions, this is fake, or reporting this thread posts.

I can flip it around.

I can make it spin clockwise when thinking of a math problem.

This is fake. This is an optical illusion. Anecdote is not the plural from of data.

Well, there's my input.
