The Trippiest Optical Illusions on the 'Net
This silhouette wins the award for coolest thing we've seen all day -- and it's not just because the tiny dancer above is in the buff. This is a little test that will tell you whether the left or right hemisphere of your brain is more dominant.
Instead of concentrating on her chest, concentrate on the woman's movement. If you see her spinning clockwise, that means you're using the right side, or more creative side of your brain. If she appears to be moving counter-clockwise, then that means the left side, or more logical side of your think muscle is superior.
At the Switched office, some of us see her going clockwise, others see her spinning counter-clockwise. At least one of us claims to see both, while another one of us opened this animation in Adobe ImageReady in order to isolate the frames to see if there's any direction-changing funny business going on. There isn't.
Take the test for yourself. Then, if you have time for a 50-question survey, compare these instant results to a more thorough diagnosis.

The idiots that are saying it's a trick.. It's not! It's an OPTICAL illusion! The image doesn't change legs or anything it's your eyes doing all the work.

I only see her on her left leg, turning clockwise... I feel left out

I already did this on facebook like a week ago...aol should catch up

ok, for those that say it's a trick...it's obvious you are ignorant to how the eye sends messages to the brain. Things ARE NOT always what they seem. This optical illusion is very real and not a trick. Impressive, see it both ways.

Cajebo... Explain how I make it switch on demand???? I didn't think so. I don't know what graphic tools your a professional with, but as an MD in opthomology I can tell you this is very real.

There is something fishy going on with this. One second it is going clockwise and up, the next it is going counterclockwise and down.
I do not believe it is going in one direction only - it has been messed around with to fool us.
Why would they do that to us? Is this some sort of experiment to see how we will respond?
I don't know about you all but I do not like to be manipulated and lied to...

This is not bogus. I thought that maybe it was a trick where it switched the direction the lady was going, but I had my husband look at it at the same time as I did and at one point we saw her moving in different directions at the same exact moment. I also took the test and it agreed with the outcome I got by just looking at the image.
