Are you Right Brained, Left Brained or both?

[Gribble]

I can't make her switch no matter how hard I try.

[misombra]

That doesn't make any sense, she's clearly turning counter clockwise.

It's simply dimensions.

I think some of you are seeing what you want to see, rather than what is.

Trust me, if you can get her to switch you'll understand how easy it is to see it either way.

I first saw her going clockwise, btw.

[Gribble]

To me she's turning clockwise.

By the way, according to a psychology professor of mine this right-brained left-brained stuff is a crock of sensationalist bull.

[Junket]

That just doesn't make any sense.

If you were to take a top-down view of her, and her leg were pointing to the right, it would move towards the top of your screen first, then to the left side of the screen. Clearly a counter clockwise motion.

From the left of the screen, it would go to the bottom, then to the right side again to complete the 360 degrees of motion.

[Junket]

To add to my above post, I would say the reason they colored her all black was to throw off people's perception of the object, making it harder to distinguish motion because there are no shadows or means to determine depth.

Nevermind, it's an illusion, and having nothing to do with being left or right brained, my girlfriend just pointed how how she switches direction.

If you put a "skin" on this "model" (which obviously isn't truly 3-D) you would see her "physically" change direction.

[Gribble]

Yeah, I know how this illusion works roughly, but I still can't get my brain to see it any other way. Sigh.

Iono...mine keeps switching directions. Kind of trippy. I've also found that taking your finger and spinning it in front of the screen and kind of focusing on your finger but also noting the lady will switch the direction, and spinning your finger in the opposite direction will switch it again. Kind of weird.

That's so dorky, but it worked!

Yeah, like I ****ing said.

Keen eyes Gribble. Look for the details. That's how you do it. Once you notice the flaws in the illusion though, you will no longer see the girl spinning in either direction, even if you want.

[Dasein]

Wow that is quite weird. At first she was anti clockwise and then she went clockwise...


Maybe it says more about me than anything else
