...regardless of whether I mask the shadow or not. I also see both when I cover up either eye and observe with the other, which suggests this is not a left/right brain phenomenon. Perhaps it is exactly what it claims to be, just an optical illusion, and the ambiguity occurs because we simply don't have enough visual cues to properly assign the correct symmetry to what we're looking at.
But I still would not be surprised if she rotates both ways, and direction is determined by some kind of random generator. I still think I can see her switch legs to pirouette on, but I can't actually catch it. It would be interesting if we could figure some way of slowing her down. Perhaps we could assign TB's formidable research skills to locate a fully illuminated graphic of the young lady, so we could get a better look--strictly for scientific purposes, of course.
