Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
I can make her do whatever I tell her. Like right now, she is knitting me a sweater and then she is going to make our bank deposits. What's wrong with you people?!?
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
So that's what happens to the women who do the openings of James Bond movies...
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
counter-clockwise. I am having a hard time wrapping my brain around this!! I tried Lumiel's nostril breathing technique but I guess I'm too stubborn.
I am utterly fascinated by this. Thanks, Skip!
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Trippy......
My corpus collosum must be very flexible. I see the dancer spinning in both directions. At first I thouht the image ws acutually changing direction bu then I realized my brain was flipping in my skull. fwump fwump fwump
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different

any guesses as to the timing of this revelation amongst us folk
many blessings

Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
I was convinced it was randomly switching directions. Then noticed that the figure changes which leg is extended but I never can see it make the change.
This reminds me of the studies that show that we receive about 15 million bits of data per second but we can only consciously process about 15 to 40 bits per second. We really, as it turns out, have no idea what's going on! :)

Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
What fun! I first got this from a friend of mine who is studying psychology as a doctorate. I saw her going both directions right off, then couldn't get it again! I love things like this. Here is another goofy one: go to google videos and search on color changing card trick.

Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Totally fascinating. She was clockwise for the longest time. Then I looked at the foot she's bouncing on and she turned the other way. As long as I stare at her head and shoulders, she stays one way. When I look away or at her feet, she changes. More clockwise, though. No closed off nostrils involved here.
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
right brained. also had a hell of a time trying to see her rotating counter clockwise. i actually got mad and said outloud: "how the hell could she be going counter clockwise? that's absurd!"
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Yesterday, she went counter-clockwise the whole time. Today, she would alternate directions, starting w/ counter-c. without my trying to get her to change directions or closing off a nostril. Weird.
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Both my girlfriend and I saw clockwise rotation first and then after reading the words on the page the image started moving counterclockwise. Shortly after that the spin would alternate as we looked at it and tried to change it, not always in the direction we were trying to change it. An interesting point for me was that many times as I saw it rotating one direction my girlfriend would see the opposite direction, sort of proof that something is actually happening in the way the brain processes the information on the page.

Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
on first look she was going counterclockwise then after about 20 secs she went clockwise. thought I imagined this. Then I went back later and found that she would switch her rotations back and forth, but I couldnt control it. Hmmm
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Try the single nostril breathing. It takes me about 10 deep breaths to change the rotation (to change which side of the brain I'm using).
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
This is so weird. I looked last night and I looked this morning, I blurred my eyes, and I can only see her going clockwise. Though I do sort of worry that she's going to tip over.
I also don't get how this is a news item.
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Counter for me...
How does it apper to go clockwise if her left shoulder is moving backward?
Where does a right brained person look?
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
She went counter-clockwise for me, but I could get her to go clockwise by closing off my left nostril and breathing through the right side only.
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
Lisa-
You just sent tea thru my nose!
I got my son Lucas to look at it and he can't believe it could rotate counterclockwise (he's 17).
Diane- I could tell you where I got the link from but its more fun to have you guessing. So the paper is a rag?
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
She went counterclockwise for my boyfriend, then he spent 10 minutes analyzing and explaining it.
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
She only went clockwise for me.
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
She only did it clockwise for me too.
But the other side of my brain wonders where you got this link to an obscure Melbourne afternoon rag. Now THAT intrigues me....
Re: And Now For Something Completely Different
I got left brained as I see the dancer rotating clockwise. Very right brained, I am. I haven't yet figured out how to get her to go counter-clockwise.
