Great optical illusion:

thx, lunk

I get her swinging her foot back and forth from one side of the screen to the other. But only if I work at it a bit. Started out clockwise. That sort of surprised me, since traditionally I grew up a lot more left brain oriented. Then again, I used to write (mostly) with my left hand until I was forced to switch. Now, for strength I use my left hand and fine motor my right. Baseball I throw left handed, frisbee right. Nice test. Cute model. Wish she was in color, though. I'll bet connection speed is a factor too. The interesting one was when I got her leg to do a high kick circle. I wish I could figure THAT one out again!

There is no trickery here....just does as the test says

>lunk, I thought great another one to look at....



I can see it both ways....I am on 20megs though but I dont think thats got anything to do with it

I am right handed but do most intricate things like threading a needle etc with my left hand...

I'm right handed but I open
jam jar lids with my left hand...

Probably, because I play guitar,
this makes my left hand stronger.

I have always tried to be
ambidextrous, whenever possible,
in digging, chopping, sweeping,
viewing direction of silhouette rotation,
etc.

cheers, lunk

That's coool !

I can get her to go either way, but I seem to be more right-brained. Fun stuff

Nothing happens here at all.
Is there no version for no-brainers?

feels excluded: Carl

How do you do that?

She spins clockwise for me and nothing else. I've tried straining my eyes, closing one eye, going to the other side of the room and coming back, but she's still spinning clockwise.

You must be a solid right-brainer


Try focusing on the center foot - even better is the reflection of the center foot. Get that to go the other way and she'll do the same

AWESOME!

whoaaaaaah, shifting from clock to anti-clock and back is blowing both the left and right hemispheres of my brain!

ta very much woolfie

( btw. "ta" means "thanks" to our friends outside of England )

I was instantly a right-brainer. which is what I thought before the test - I am creative by trade and I am hopeless at mathematics.

There were three things I have always been terrible at: Accounting and Mathematics.

Interesting, no matter which way
it appears to turn, it's impossible to
understand how it could spin the other
way. You can't perceive it turning
both ways at the same time.

I would'nt say you could perceive it either way apart from in 3D Mind you its late and I could be wrong.....Just found out on another forum I post on that I have been putting "ROLF" instead of "ROFL"

I must say its harder when your tired....but dont be lazy guys as to get the full gist of it you have to follow the first link

>CB Dont be feeling all left out hon (is that better).....you came 1st on the bus pic lol!

What? I "came first" on the bus pic?

No, sorry. Nor the 2 cops neither the bus was my type,
in case you're accusing me of making a "screenshot"...

And, due to the fact that I "feel like a woman", I never come first.

acts like a gentleman: carl

Yeah, that's what they all say.

...to you, probably.

But don't take my word for it.
I am lacking the experience in this "ball"-game.

never shot a breech-loader: Carl

Returning to the original topic, it isn't merely a matter which way the girl is spinning.

The real question is, why do you perceive a 'girl' or 'young woman' at all -- and why do you perceive a 'space' in which 'she' 'spins' (regardless of the direction).

There is no 'girl', there is no 'space' and therefore there is no 'spinning', either direction.

Just as with below, there is no "pyramid" or "corner", there are only different shades of gray pixels. That is all there is. Everything else about it is an 'illusion' contained within the mind.

This is true of all visual phenomena -- indeed, most of what we call 'perception'. We do not see, touch, hear, smell or taste the world around us. Photons don't get into the brain any more than do soundwaves. When we 'touch' something, the molecules do not intermingle. The same is true for smell and taste -- except in instances of direct, chemical stimulation by psychoactive substances -- all that ever enters the brain are electromagnetic impulses which alter brain chemistry. These impulses are contained within our neurocircuitry. Our phenomenal experience of the world, including ourselves in it, is derived from the perpetual energetic and molecular cascade within the entire brain system (neural networks on out).

The more significant and least pondered question has to do with the relationship of all that and the far more mysterious and existential properties of being. What "experiences"? I've begun to come to the conclusion that for the most part the answer to that question is "nothing". IOW, for the most part, our experience of being is no more substantive than that of a dream.

Nevertheless, all that said, there is another possibility.

Oh, and by the way, Carl, it is spelled with a u instead of an o and no e.

>CB....Hmmm....Are you playing reverse psychology?

>Painter......Whoa my head is hurting now

Ya, that's been happening a lot lately...

good post paint.

And yea I've seen this before, although I normally consider myself drastically left brained, the girl spun clockwise for minute or so. It's cool to think about...so many of our actions are unconscious. To think about them is, t me, profound, to see the complexity and simplicity in just one specific instance of life, and to consider the infinite other 'things' in life... B) coolness
