Do you use the left or right hand side of your brain?

[timorang]

Clockwise, clockwise and clockwise. No matter how I look at it or how hard I try - clockwise. Can we have the picture with the lights on?

Is it relevevant that the article says most will see it anticlockwise yet at this point on KB it is 2:1 clockwise??

I should have made it visible who voted

Freaky... was convinced for a second there that the animation actually reversed.

It's about symmetry - you can not tell if she's facing towards or away from you since it's just a silloutte. Very nicely done. Although I'd personally argue that's she's rotating around her z-axis, after all x and y defines the horisontal plane (although not in electromagnetics).

Seems she's slightly cold though.

[oldrider]

She swaps all over the place for me, back and forth does that mean I use both sides of my brain equally, neither is dominant!

does this mean i'm going to be like you when I get to your age John or is it to late

It's too late for you Shrek, go back to your swamp!

You didn't tell me about your trip home? Cheers John.

[vifferman]

Spinning...?

I guess the inference is I don't use either side of my brain...

[peasea]

She looks stationary to me but my monitor is going round and round.

That drunk this early in the day?

[Stickchick]

This sucks!!!! When I first looked she was going anti-clockwise so I voted, then when I looked again she is going both ways intermittently...What does that mean?

[jrandom]

This was posted a while back, but as an optical illusion with the comment that if you look at it for a while, it changes direction.

Which it does.

I suspect that it doesn't have much to do with the left or right side of one's brain.

yep, just did that too...

[Maha]

bah, sorry, I did a search but it didnt turn up anything, calling repost on a thread that didnt have a fair amount of relevant search terms is tricky one.
I only looked a certain way back cos the news article was only posted on friday. oh well.


here ill make up for it
ames room [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ic7QGjGEX8&mode=related&search=[/YOUTUBE]

They have one of those rooms in Wanaka...at some place where most things are illusions (cant remeber what the place is called)....freaky shit alright....

[Winston001]

I've no idea what you turkeys are on about. There is no movement at all - it is a fixed image.

Just for the sake of argument, lets pretend the silhoutte appears to be a back view or a front view depending upon your brains interpretation. Is that what this is all about?? I can see both although initially it looked like a back view.

As for clockwise etc, from what point of view? Overhead?

Yes.

[pyrocam]

for all those people saying its not moving, and your being serious. do you have gif animations turned off?


or try clicking on the higher quality version

[Aurora]

Thats fecking out there aye. Anticlockwise first always. tried it 3 different times to see if there was trickery involved, but found I can turn it at will
