Anyone see her spinning counter-clockwise? She is clearly spinning clockwise.

tabooli said on Fri Oct 19th, 2007 10:01am [#9875]

clockwise. and anyone that knows me knows that I do not tend to fit in to the "right-brain" category.

joeyo said on Fri Oct 19th, 2007 3:33pm [#9877]

everyone i know that has looked at this reports seeing it go clockwise, at least at first.

mimo said on Fri Oct 19th, 2007 3:51pm [#9878]

i always see it counter-clockwise at first, and then if i try real hard, i can make it go the other way

I have hard time getting her to spin clockwise, I notice that its easier if I look at only her feet until she spins in the direction I want

tabooli said on Fri Oct 19th, 2007 5:30pm [#9882]

I've had some success changing my perception of her movement by doing "left-minded" or "right-minded" activities before viewing her again.

however, if I shift my eyes for even a moment after first seeing it move counter-clockwise, it will go back to a clockwise motion.

go write a few lines of code and check her out again!

very counter-clockwise, and everytime i see it clockwise she switches back suddenly... eventually it starts to make me dizzy, what does that mean? ;)

Grocery said on Sat Oct 20th, 2007 9:42am [#9884]

Oh not this again...she changes direction...take a note on which foot she's standing on when she's going clock-wise or counter-clock-wise...

joeyo said on Mon Oct 22nd, 2007 8:02am [#9887]

Oh neat, I didn't notice that. No wonder it's so hard to make it switch, you have to completely reinterpret the silhouette.

Based on our small sample size here, I'd have to saw the article is getting it backwards: The left brain people are seeing it go clockwise at first, and the right-brainers are seeing it go counterclockwise first.

'Bottleneck' slows brain activity 12964

A "bottleneck" occurs in the brain when people attempt to carry out two simultaneous tasks, the research shows. The study found the brain slows down when attempting a second task less than 300 milliseconds after the first. More →
