If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa. If counterclockwise, your left brain is mostly in charge.

Most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise though you can try to focus and change the direction; see if you can do it.

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

I pretty much see it clockwise, though I was staring at it for awhile, looking away, staring, and it SWITCHED and freaked me out. Especially because the song "Isn't Life Strange?" was playing and the chorus is "Spin me round....I'm falling." I promise I'm not high. And I only had one manhattan, and that was two hours ago.

Now she's back to clockwise and I can't see it the other way at all.

Funny, in high school when I learned about brain halves, I used to wish I was left-handed because that would mean I'm right-brain leaning, but I guess I'm right brain leaning anyway.
