This sounds very similar to the spinning dancer illusion [1] where your brain locks into a configuration where it can see it rotate in one way or the other, but you can't control when or which.

- loco5niner 8y agoI can control the direction. It kind of feels similar to 3D stereograms where the image just kind of 'snaps' into place, but in this case, she starts spinning the other direction. Kind of fun and quirky, and you really have to do it on purpose.
- lenocinor 8y agoTo provide a corroborating perspective on this, I learned to control this too, but it took a lot of practice to do it, and even now it's not 100% immediately effective for me.
- loco5niner 8y agoSame here, not 100%. I actually just tried it on the spinning dancer, and the more I practiced, the better I got, but definitely not 100%. I bet I could get there with enough practice though.
