Until you actually get to the point where you can see either, it seems like only one direction is possible
but you're wrong, I can see either
took me a couple of minutes though
I saw here going counterclockwise at first and what helped me to see her going clockwise was to rotate a finger clockwise in time with her spinning, and after a little bit that's what I suddenly saw
your friends will think you are crazy when they can only see one way
Yeah, except I can see the shadow going either way. Hell, now that I keep looking at it, I can no longer see the shadow, when that's all I'm looking at, go counterclockwise.
it really isn't, and if you looked away to post it won't work
AHHH After image!! I wont go away!
Holy crap that was good.
But is that truly a total grayscale image, and my brain is telling me that the trees should be the perfect shade of green, or is my brain taking cues from some hint in the picture?

The colory picture it shows you first "trains" your eyes to see the grayscale picture as colored.
Think of how, if you were to look at the sun, (don't do this), everything afterward seems dark in comparison.
I thought it was some kind of computer trickery at first so here's another version with a top quality soundtrack (watch the top one first though, the second one is just for you despicable cynics out there)

Right, but my mind knows exactly where to put all the right colors, is that purely from experience, or is the grayscale set up just right to give my mind the cue as to where to assign the colors?

I've developed a certain procedure with this shit.
Namely, I open it, pause it, and scan the end. If it's a screamer, I'm forewarned and fuck off.
This is safe.
If you look at the first "prep" picture, the colors that are being for all purposes "burned" into your eyes line up perfectly with where you're supposed to see the colors in the next picture.
As Druhim noticed, moving your head clears the image faster because that causes new visual input to overwrite the color training.
it must be my comp because it gets choppy and changes. My computer does that (it's an old ibm T30 on linux) with animated gifs. I guess I just assumed that the choppiness combined w/the change was the gif changing, not my mind.

No worries.
In fact the choppiness probably caused you to see the illusion.
Which is lucky, because some people have been having trouble seeing it at all.

I've been able to get it to go back and forth a few times already.

Nope not a screamer at all.
It's actually pretty cool.
got her to go the other way
I didn't look at all.
I saw "Stareclips.com" and thought "Haha stare at this no."
AHHH After image!! I wont go away!
but i still dont understand
now i can't see it how i started to see it
OH GOD MY BRAIN
do you see it as her right or her left leg?
if you see it as her right leg, try looking at it as if it were her left leg, or vice versa
does that make sense?
I can see her spin either direction
am i weird?

It's the same concept, only with color.

Also the greyscale is just right.
As Druhim noticed, moving your head clears the image faster because that causes new visual input to overwrite the color training.

you can actually see it happen.
"Oh what a day, what a LOVELY DAY!"
but they never did
there was never a fucking unicorn
No sir.
The gif is only 34 frames long.
The entire file is only 204kb.
It's not big enough to have a "1/2 way" point.
I was talking about the chick spinning. The direction changes but it's not an optical illusion really. it just changes in the gif
"Oh what a day, what a LOVELY DAY!"
That's what I'm talking about as well.
I just checked the file.
It does not change.
It is in fact an optical illusion.
ahahaha you suck
you're really good at that
"Oh what a day, what a LOVELY DAY!"
