I saw this in Martini Princess's Blog and I find this very interesting and challenging as well.
The following are all taken from http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22556281-661,00.html
THE Right Brain vs Left Brain test ... do you see the dancer turning clockwise or anti-clockwise?
If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of the brain and vice versa.
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
The author said "most of us would see the dancer turning anti-clockwise". Seems like I am not one of the "most of us" ... I am special... wahaha *I knew that all along*.
Some remarks here base on the effort I made at Martini Princess's Blog...
1. Try to focus on the leg to make the dancer change direction.
2. Looking at the dancer from the top and bottom does not change the direction of the dancer.
3. Hitting ur left/right of the brain to make it awake is useless.
4. Focus on the leg really helps, dun focus on the nipple...no harm trying.... let me know if focusing on the nipple works, lol
5. After u manage to change the dancer's turning direction and you got no way to change it back, try doing other things and ur brain will automatically reset.
6. Can try Hiro Nakamura style too if you want >_< , o_o 7. I tried cursing my brain too, doesn't work... Conclusion, if this experiment really tell us which of our brain is working, seems like our brain can only work 1 at a time... and I do believe is true too. Coz even if u are playing an music instrument with both of ur hands it just means that the left and right brain switches really really fast... like a transistor~!
Good luck trying.
If u get headaches or tumor, don't blame this picture~!
Edit: Additional remark, if I focus damn hard, the direction of the dancer would change without needing to switch windows or blinking ur eyes.
Edit 2: You will experiece slower turning dancer if u are using Internet Explorer or a integrated graphic card. For best viewing experience, pleases use firefox or click here to download the picture.

Hm, the turning seems to change from clockwise to anti-clockwise after sometime.
I believe there is some set up here.
By changing your window to another window for 2 seconds, and then switching back, the direction will change.
The theory on the brain work is pretty interesting, nearly the same as what a Thailand 'brain teacher' said.
If you are just looking at it... the direction would never change... at least for my case... my default mode of turning is always, yes its always clockwise. I have to focus very very hard actually to make it anti-clockwise... I wonder why...
FYI, its always the same gif file, the gif file will never change
you don't have to..just look at the legs...they are changing from time to time..it's just an illusion
