The way we perceive rotation direction can be affected by the visual context, as illustrated by the left and right images.

In the left image, featuring clockwise arrows on the sides, we typically see all three images rotating clockwise. Conversely, in the right image, counterclockwise arrows on the sides make us perceive the rotation as counterclockwise.

However, the actual rotation direction remains consistent in both cases.

Our brain’s interpretation of rotational motion is shaped by surrounding elements and our inclination to find patterns and connections in visual data.
