you always see her right breast poking out, then her left breast. each time she's facing sideways, it's right then left.

everything is consistent with a person spinning clockwise, for fuck's sake.

Thunder, grab something like a necklace and twirl it counter-clockwise in front of you for a while...

Make sure you havn't looked at the twirly girl for a bit to try and quell any preconceptions on her pointless twirling...

Try and imagine her twirling counter clockwise and how it might appear and look at the image again...

Thats how it worked for me!

Initially clockwise for me. On repeated exposure it was clockwise, the only time its appeared anticlockwise naturally, without looking at feet, was today. One thing ive noticed is im less stressed today than i have been recently.

Yeah i noticed if i closed my eyes and visualised someone spinning clockwise for 30 seconds or so then it would do that, and if i imagined aniticlockwise for 30 seconds it would do that.

I would like to see the actual study behind it.

nobody is taking me seriously

i'm NOT INTERESTED in seeing her go anti-clockwise, because until i get an improved explanation, that is NOT THE DIRECTION SHE IS SPINNING.

LOL Thunder! :lol:

she can definitely be viewed spinning in both directions, 'breast entry' and all are the reverse of what you are seeing. i cant explain why it can be viewed as both, being a silhouette has something to do with it, but cant explain why it wouldn't be viewable as both either.

try closing your eyes and doing left or right brain exercises, like equations then visualising shapes. it might help, but it might not even be indicative of brain hemisphere activity so it might not!

have fun bahahaha

nothing in that url is very similar, and they were all easy for me to switch.

as yet i'm unable to conceive of her spinning the other way.

I can see it spinning both ways, at the same time.

you always see her right breast poking out, then her left breast.

I can't see her breasts poking out at all... I think you are mixing it up with porn.

For me babe still spinning clockwise.

And the shadow is the doing the correct following.

But at first the shadow of the babe was going anticlockwise from the clockwise babe.

I can only get clock wise

I wonder if it changes on mind / brain wave activity?

as in the time of day, or night or day, or alter state, straight or stoned ect would make a difference?

has any one try this standing on their head yet?

I am guessing that changes brain wave activity.

if that doesn't work try some crack, smack, or coco-pops

or after a good hard shag/wank.

by the way I am guessing this chick is a blonde

I am going to try to slap my cock against my monitor and see if I can get the dizzy bitch to spin the other way.

hahaha cool I had anticlockwise then clockwise then anti, back and fowards. Cool the list of things im supposed to be good at but many from both lists are true.

I should add ive got an exam tomorrow so im loaded with information and certianly in a left brain type space.

Interesting some people can only get it to spin one way, do the list of characteristics fit you well?

Yes,

RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS

uses feeling

"big picture" oriented

imagination rules

symbols and images

present and future

philosophy & religion

can "get it" (i.e. meaning)

believes

appreciates

spatial perception

knows object function

fantasy based

presents possibilities

impetuous

risk taking

thats me alright.

i don't really think it works to say people are left or right brain. sure, everyone is dominant in one side of the brain, and certain parts of the brain are usually used for certain things... but what it comes down to is labelling people as creative or intellectual, which is a tad mad don't you think?

i'd like to think i'm both, and i know plenty of people who are neither. i couldn't say which description fits me better.

i'm assured that it works if you try hard enough :unsure:

gotta respect the consensus but i'd prefer to just say that you're all nucking futs.

maybe this will satisfy.

whenever this thread was started, that's how long it's been driving me up the wall.

This doesnt seem like an optical illusion either

basically this belonged in the optical illusions thread, that's all that it is.

yesterday i saw it switch after putting it on my phone, and looking at her upside down. privvy to her trick at last, i was able to explain what's going on. i can't help but wonder if my need for an explanation implies my brain polarity and hence the reason i couldn't see it for such a long time. anyway, the next quote was the only time that any of you hinted at it's mechanism. for shame!!

she can definitely be viewed spinning in both directions, 'breast entry' and all are the reverse of what you are seeing. i cant explain why it can be viewed as both, being a silhouette has something to do with it, but cant explain why it wouldn't be viewable as both either.

it's a two dimensional animation. it purports to be a 2D representation of a 3D object which is static except that it's rotating. basically, this 2D animation is not a representation of ANYTHING 3D, it's just a morphing sillhouette which is ambiguous about which is her front or back, and which is her left or right. when she is side on you can identify her front and back, that is all.

* if you see her going clockwise, you perceive the raised limbs as her right limbs. if you see her going a/cw, you percieve the raised limbs as her left limbs. they are neither, because the image is false. tricksy. wicked.

* one illusion is not the opposite/reverse of the other. in such a smooth illusion, i think that would be impossible. hence:

* although both perceptions are inaccurate, the clockwise one is more feasible.

* the shadow is only accurate for anti-clockwise. no surprise to me, because although clockwise looked fine to my eyes for a long time, the shadow never seemed to make sense.

also, i noticed if u focus on the foot
Stare at the reflection of the foot for awhile and then follow it back up the body.

her foot is the most obvious place to notice the ambiguity, it looks very unnatural TWICE PER ROTATION.

also, her hips look unnatural and that's the main reason i say that the clockwise illusion is the better illusion (however the anticlockwise illusion has the accurate shadow)

i'm not sure anything else needed to be said.

Hahaha, I saw this ages ago on another forum, and thought the same as Thunder. There was NO way I could make it spin the other way.

But after persisting, I've finally gotten it...

the shadows are the key - when it appears to be rotating clockwise, the shadow of her extended leg spins towards you and in front of her stable leg as she rotates clockwise.

If you try and imagine that her extended leg is spinning away from you and goes behind her stable leg, without being distracted by the body - then - for me at least - it suddenly appears to be spinning anti-clockwise.

I just tried it a few times, and without fail, I was able to change her direction.

And it's completely screwed my brain up because I still cannot see, when I focus on her body, How the damn hell it can look like there is no other way for her to spin. Both ways give me the same impression that it would be impossible for her to spin in an opposite direction..

Crazy shit !

Good luck trying to get people who were like me to see it, I gave up months ago thinking it was just impossible.. wow..

No, cause I can cover up the shadow and still get it to spin both ways not a problem

Nothing to do with looking at the foot either, maybe it helps some people though cause of the thought patterns involved

Breast entry appears perfect both ways :)

I can cover up more than half the body and still get it to spin either way on demand

Why do you say trixy TI? Because your brain is perceiving it in a different way? Isn't that what it is all about?

I can also cut the picture of just below the breasts by moving my screen down and still get it going either way, ie cant see hands are most of the arms, In fact just tried it with only the head and no other part of her body and can get her head to spin both ways easily enough!

LOL Thats funny shit, so yeah I really dont know how it works! But its got nothing to do with shadows feet or arms or the height of body parts, but probably that its spinning slightly off axis and the way your brain interprates this as a directional function?

Did you have any problem with it at all, getting it to change directions?

I did, and the only way I could get it to change was to imagine the leg swinging the other way to force me to think of her spinning in the opposite direction, for me it works 100% now.

Who said the illusion had anything to do with shadows or arms? To trick the mind however, some people have to think of the animation in a certain way and the easiest way to do that, for me at least, is to put emphasis on the shadows. The whole body for me was too constant in it's direction to allow me to see it go in any other way.

No, pretty much straight away :)

Not you! :) Thunderideal did, and I found that that had no bearing on the spin as I could easily remove all of those functions and still get it to change direction

i didn't say that at all.

"Why do you say trixy TI? Because your brain is perceiving it in a different way? Isn't that what it is all about?"

all perceptions of that image are false.

Ambiguouspatterns_v.png

the examples above are accurate 2D representations of BOTH perceptions. i don't see why they should be called illusions. if you were looking at a similar image in 3D, ONLY THEN would one of the perceptions be an illusion.

the spinning chick is a complete illusion, and represents none of the possible perceptions.

by the way, flipping the image upside down and then back again seems to reveal the illusion easily.

i still maintain that clockwise is a much more convincing illusion, OVERALL.

Man, I almost edited my post because as soon as I posted I scrolled up to look at the animation again, and the bugger didn't do it !! oO

Eventually it did, but.. it shafted my idea.. haha.. Seems that once I get it going either way, then that is the only time I can manipulate it. At first however, it just does what it wants.

Thing is, you can do it right away, while people like me sit there pulling our hair out going "No DAMN way that could pissibly go the other way. NO WAY!!" and when I found a way I could actually do it.. well, what some people do with their brains as default some people consider 'tricks' - braisn a funny machines!

I've always been very good at seeing stereographic images, while I've had to really put effort into explaining to some people how to view them, and to me it's almost as if it's natural but some people just cant get it.. Going cross eyed? They just don't get it.. And that really spins me out!!

But thank farrrkk I got this bugger sorted.. Whew !! :)

Cheers foolsbreath !! ;)

Damo.
