I read somewhere that it's not actually a dancer spinning, but a 2-D dancer going back and forth but our brains are programmed to see it as a 3-D object spinning, which has nothing to do with left-brain vs right-brain dominance. me and my friends just got into a huge screaming match over this, trying to make each other see each way. after a LONG time i was finally able to see both ways, but i have to sort of look somewhere else, picture her going the other way and then look back.
