Which direction is she spinning?

Which way do you see her spinning? Clockwise? Or counter-clockwise?

2/3 of people see her spinning clockwise. Others see her spinning counter clockwise. And a few people can make her change direction at will.

When she was created in 2003, people believed it was a test of right or left brain dominance. It‘s not. But it’s still fun to see how your eyes can fool you.

Most people see her spinning clockwise because most of us have an attentional bias towards the right side of the body.

Want to know how to make her switch directions at will?

Did that help? Could you make her change direction?
