Is she spinning clockwise or counter-clockwise? If you see her spinning counter-clockwise, as most people supposedly do, then you use more of the left side of your brain. If you see her spinning clockwise, then you're more right-brained.
OK, so what exactly does that mean? Here's how they break it down:
| LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses logic detail oriented facts rule words and language present and past math and science can comprehend knowing acknowledges order/pattern perception knows object name reality based forms strategies practical safe | RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS uses feeling "big picture" oriented imagination rules symbols and images present and future philosophy & religion can "get it" (i.e. meaning) believes appreciates spatial perception knows object function fantasy based presents possibilities impetuous risk taking |
Go on and give it a try!

I can see her spinning either way, depending on where she is in her motion at the moment my eye catches the picture.
In spite of its alleged tendencies, though, my left brain tells me she's really spinning counter-clockwise, because the shadow on the floor is wrong for clockwise motion. The fact that the shadow of her raised leg enters from the foreground indicates that the light source is behind her. Therefore, the shadow should only enter the frame when her leg is pointing away from the camera (unless she was lowering that leg toward the floor, which she's not). The clockwise illusion causes her right and left legs to exchange position, and causes the raised leg to appear pointed toward the camera as the shadow enters the frame, which is all wrong.
The right side of my brain says, "With a figure like that, I'll watch her spin around any way she likes!"
