Just found this and not sure if it actually works because I can obviously only see the one directional move, which way do you see the woman rotating?

Apparently when you concentrate on the figure's legs when she is moving you can manipulate her to go in any direction and even continuously sway her legs from side to side.

Yeah, sounds like me.

Though looking at the girl, I saw her changing directions, not spinning in one direction.

I got that one too, but it means fvck all, so who cares?

I can make her twirl in either direction with just a little concentration.

yeah, if you're not looking directly at her.

same here. i can make her twirl in either direction.

ya, it should be simple to make the girl turn in either direction, like my link above says, the type of "folk" psychology with the left and right brain is entirely baseless.

All in all, one of my favorite illusions now.

She spins both directions. It all depends on how you look at it.

look at the feet and try to mentally "push" the outstretched leg in the other direction. It helps if you visualize her spinning in the oposite direction

Sorry bro, it changes directions. Try refreshing it or hitting back and going forward. It does change directions and it was made to make people look foolish.

can you back that up?

what you have described would actually fit with our perceptual system.

I have looked at it and had some abrupt changes in direction, but there are thousands of illsuions that produce much more unbelievable effects.

Any evidence aside from it doing what the illusion should be doing, only unexpectedly?

I can make her sweep her lifted leg back and forth. Does this mean my corpus callosum doesn't know whether signals are coming or going? lol1

I can get weird little effects like that aswell, which makes me skeptical if the illusion is really a fraud.

However... Try just letting it spin in a direction for 30+ seconds, and see what happens...

Anyone else get the abrupt changes in direction after watching the image for 30+ seconds or whatever? Nah, I can stare at it for a minute and no change of direction. It only changes when you move your eyes or blink.

Here's something. When watching it, move your eyes up and down, but keeping part of the women in your view, (think of it as rubbing the woman with your vision,) everytime you look at the woman, she has changed direction.

(Works better with that video.)

I think it changes directions when you refresh...I just put them side by side and constantly refreshed until I got both of them to spin in the opposite direction.

I got the same effect you did, only not when it was refreshed. Go freaking brains.

After looking at the frame by frame....I am not so sure now on it spinning different directions. It is the shadow that throws me off in the frame by frame.

OMG!!! I am rediculously wrong!!! It doesn't change directions. My brain is just wack. I was able to force the "oppositely" rotating images to move in different directions when I had them side by side.

From looking at it, the woman is actually spinning clockwise, but her shadow is spinning counter-clockwise.

the woman isn't actually spinning in either direction, the fact that it looks that way is because our brains are remarkably good at picking up what looks like biological motion.

Imagine the 2D figure were actually standing on a clock, with 6 o clock being toward us while we observe the illusion. When her leg appears to be at 5 o clock going clockwise, it is the same as it would look if the leg were at 1 o'clock going counter clockwise. Its because there is no context to the motion, we aren't able to figure out what is really in front of what.

man, brains brains brains brains brains

Yeah, that is what the problem is. If you are logical, the only way she can spin is counter clock wise because of the shadow of her foot. If you go by the shadow, she can only spin clock-wise illogically. If you take the shadow away, then it can literally be any direction. That is what was throwing me off because at first, I could only see counter clockwise.

man, brains brains brains brains brains No, when the foot sticking out is on one end, it's larger than it is on the other end. Therefore, when the foot is bigger, it's pointing towards you and vice versa.

you are right about what?

I was explaining the illusion

Unless you are arguing that the image is actually a 3 dimensional figure...

Ya, the shadow is kinda messed up, I could always get it to change direction by looking at the feet, probably for that reason.

Try this.

Get the image to "move" clockwise. When the outward foot is as you perceive, closest to your face, then look at the shadow cast. You will observe an impossible shadow casting because the toes of the shadow will be pointing to the toes of the figure...impossible IF the image is rotating as you perceive as clockwise.

Now try the same "perception" test when it moves counterclockwise. The shadow casting works just fine.

Since an optical illusion is carefully planned, this means the a person who perceives this as moving clockwise would have to be illogical, and therefore, artistic. The actual intended perception would be counterclockwise. In other words, if someone at first sees the image move clockwise, they did not properly observe the motion. Forget about the shadow being cast, and the logical mind can see it move clockwise.


SUCCESS!!

Id agree with everything you said except for the illogical/artistic part.

No part of the illusion has anything to do with your personality

SUCCESS!! Actually the shadow can still work if the shadow is spinning opposite. It's a refraction thing I think.

I think that only someone who has high observational skills would be able to notice that there is a shadow impossibility when spinning clockwise...lending itself to logical trait. That's my opinion and you are the professional so really, whatever you say I just have to go with it.

Here's something the curious can try: With the girl, watch her for a while. Don't try to change her direction, just note which direction she's going in. Then go do something else for a few minutes (answer a post, google up stuff, pee). Come back and look at the girl again, and note quickly which direction she's spinning in.

Do this a few times. Is your perception of the girl consistent or not (ie, is she always spinning in the same direction)?

That girl can spin in any direction and swing from side to side, even seem to point her toe. When I first clicked on her, I wasn't directly looking at her though. The other thing you posted just swings from side to side.

And I take offence to the illogical/artistic thingie mentioned.... lol

It doesn't actually go anti-clockwise. The only way it appears to is when you aren't looking properly. It's just a simple illusion.

Anyone for whom it initially spins anti-clockwise, is, let's be honest here, an idiot.

Left brain man. Analytical.

If one logically follows the shadow cast by the "pointing" foot, it will always go counterclockwise. The image, however, can appear to move either direction because it is an illusion.

I did not mean artistic people are illogical...lol...

I was trying to show that if you don't use logic with the shadows and you see it move clockwise, then you are artistic (stated by the author/s). It didn't come out right. I meant that if you don't following the image logically (in other words, follow the image illogically), then by the creators definition, you are artistic. I was really trying to justify why the creator/s made those statements about logic and art.

I noticed that various bits conflict.

Try to make the head alone (cover the rest) move in a way that your brain believes is anti-clockwise.

Tell me if you can.

The other thing you posted just swings from side to side. That's the point of the illusion. It's really rotating.

Okay, meaning?

Wow that's cool. I can make it go either way at will. It spins naturally to the right for me though. Also I think its funny she has nipples. lol

Not an optical illusion, but cool:

http://www.planetperplex.com/img/hidden_baby.jpg

Has anyone else noticed the dominant direction change significantly after a while, IE at once time clockwise seems really difficult, and then the reverse?

Seems left and right brain distinctions aren't as marked as some believe.

So, to answer your question, debbiejo, you aren't very right-brained, you were, after all, dumb.

Originally posted by Victor Von Doom

...and we can see how well that went over.

Not an optical illusion, but cool: Yeah, it is.

EDIT

Indeed. What was your experience?

(Where it says 'once' I meant 'one'.)

If anyone's tried it, they haven't posted anything *sigh*

I will try it, but I will need to go back and look what 'it' was.

Well, I can say that it seems harder for me to change it back while it is clockwise, but initially it was always counterclockwise so far.

Somewhat similar to that.

First time: clockwise, unchanging.

Second time: initially anti, instantly changing to clockwise, then remaining clockwise.

Third time: as second, but remained anti for a few seconds before changing permanently.

Fourth time: clockwise, unchanging.

I looked at it while talking on the phone and it appeared clockwise.

Odd. Could be random of course.

I saw the "back and forth" effect that someone mentioned earlier. (I think it was inimilist.) I looked at it "a different way" and it started to just go back and forth instead of rotating 360 degrees....it was weird but it did it.

I think it was mindship who came up with that

I showed a bunch of people last night, and realized, that to me at least, if i used my finger, i could basically "push" her in either direction. I have since managed to do this with only tilting or shifting my head, so i can get the back and forth now

Consistently clockwise for me, I refreshed a few times and even left it and returned a few minutes later, but still clockwise.

Why do I feel disappointed?

you have to "push" the image in your mind, basically visualize it spinning the other way

it works best if you sort of "unfocus" on the girl while still sort of watching her

It's all about unfocusing your eyes.

I've noticed people who have trouble with them often can't see them because people are telling them what's in the picture.

Instead of trying to see something in the picture, you should be looking at the whole picture.

Look at the shadow only, which is quite easy to get going anti-clockwise. Then move up slowly. Drop back down if you lose it.

Originally posted by Devil King

Yeah. Once you get the knack it's always easy.

You can even do it without focusing on the shadow, just wait for the leg to point left or right, then as it moves out of view, just follow it either up or down and force it to go the way you want.

-AC

The key really lies with which leg she's on. That's all that determines between the directions.

Left leg clockwise, right leg anti-clockwise.

I only see her moving clockwise

When I try to concentrate to make her move counter-clockwise i get kindof dizzy

I only see clockwise.

Though really, who cares? I wanna **** her. Hot naked chick spinning in circles like a little ditsy retard. Bet she can be tricked into taking anal.

I can still only get her to go clockwise

I haven't made her change once.

Damn.... Seems to be more staggered on the left, towards the yellow....... Is that good Aids or the bad Aids I got....?



On the initial one, I had to reeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllly try to get it counterclockwise, yet found it easier on the clockwise.
An illusion breaker for me was that the foot should be getting bigger as it sweeps round "to us" but doesnt and that perspective throuws it off, once focused on, in addition to the shadows.
