Very interesting.

If I look directly at the figure, she spins counter-clockwise no matter how I stare.

If I move my focus an inch or so to either side, the figure immediately changes direction and appears to spin clockwise.

Anyone know what that means? I am at least semi-ambidextrous. My grandfather was truly ambidextrous. A handy trait for a surgeon.

I have the exact opposite experience - clockwise until I look slightly away. Strange as I'm about as left-brained as they come; maybe I'm getting in touch with my inner artsy guy today??

My experience is similar to yours. She starts CLOCKWISE and then if I look off center, she reverses.
