Recently a friend forwarded an article from the Daily Telegraph to me. Basically they show this 2D image of a spinning dancer. The way the image was set up, it gives us an illusion that it is actually 3D, and our mind proceed to interprete it in spinning motion. Some people would see her spinning clockwise, while some would see her spinning anti-clockwise.
(You'll need to click on the image to see it animated)
Supposedly, as mentioned in the article, if you see it clockwise, you're more of a right brain person (creative thinking), while if you see it anti-clockwise, you're more of a left brain person (logical thinking).
Most of us will see it anti-clockwise because through education, we've been trained to think in a logical way. For me, I see it both ways... maybe clockwise 30-40% of the time and the remaining anti-clockwise. And I've even learnt to manipulate the image so I can see whichever direction I want :P
So which direction do you see it?
