lets make this interesting for everyone, lets put to girls together, when i did it i could get them to spin opposite directions.


I was able to get both directions using my peripheral vision for one of them. Weird.

I'm a math and computer science major, and I can't make it go counter clockwise. WTF

Yep - same here.

clockwise only
lefthanded person use the right side of the brain

Yeah I saw this on another forum yesterday and it still hasn't changed. I'm primarily CW, I CAN get it to go CCW but it takes a couple minutes and some real effort on my part lol.

But i'm righthanded, and I can't get it to change. My husband/daughter just looked at it, and they tell me they can get it to go back and forth. I'm stuck :)

This video is rigged. It goes both ways after some interval. To prove it,

look at the breast. at first the breast disappears as she moves clockwise
after some time: the breast appears instead of disappearing as she moves anti-clockwise.

so its not your brain. they made the animation that way.

edit: I should say, disappears and appears on the left side of the image. I guess it would also be the same on the right side of the image, but it has to be one side you are looking at.

Always clockwise for me when i first look at it... but i can get it change direction by concentrating on the shawdow... can't get it to change by looking at the silhouette.

I love stuff like this... its like that one where you are asked which square is darker shade of gray when they are all the exact same shade (link)

So fascinating to see how simple the brain can be fooled against what appears to be a no brainer :P

Time it and see if its consistent or count the revolutions each way :P

It is not consistent. Since I was about to get in bed I am going to leave this for later. :p

same here - cant get it to change into anti-clockwise no matter how i tried. now i feel weak.

I can change her at will. Truthfully though, all I notice is that she looks cold...

not quite at will, but if I keep her in peripheral vision, only allowing my mind to barely see her foot, then I can eventually get her to switch. then stare directly at her head and switch back.

the initial switch takes some concentration on not concentrating though ;)
10/12/2007 02:18:04 AM · #41
you switchers are gonna hurt yourselves :-P

Exactly the same for me. My stomach lurches at the point of change!

Anti-clockwise for me.

I just need to take my eyes off the screen for a second and I can have her spining in different directions.....looks like she's dancing especialy when you do it really quickly!

I can get it to change directions anytime I want by looking away, blinking and then looking back.
10/12/2007 03:10:36 AM · #46
I can't get her to change at all...She's perpetually spinning clockwise for me. I don't think her as looking cold, but sometimes I think she's going to fall over. LMAO.

Steph

Edit HOLY CRAP I JUST GOT HER TO CHANGE

Nothing I do can make her spin counterclockwise. None of the tips suggested, nothing I thought of myself. Not even a twitch, a hesitation, a jiggle, nothing. I swear, this is a joke and I'm the only one not in on it; you're all trying to drive me insane(r)!!
10/12/2007 03:29:32 AM · #48
my girlfriend has seen her going counter-clockwise and clockwise. I've been staring at it forever, and have probably lost a good deal of my vision, but I cannot see anything that I can possibly understand as counter-clockwise. She's infinitely spinning clockwise. Damn brain. I suppose that partial lobotomy probably explains something...
10/12/2007 03:31:31 AM · #49
Definitely clockwise for me. I can force anticlockwise, but I have to visualise her moving the other way first, and sneakily catch the animation when it matches my anti-clockwise mental model. The two together is freaky. I had to work pretty hard to get alternating directions, but it was cool.

As for the photo, the focus is crisp, posing is good, the background is dull, but most importantly, I'd prefer to see this well lit by good soft light from the front. :)

ETA: While reading the article (having the image to the right), she started to flip sides several times and then turn counterclockwise...
