Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

The Spinning Silhouette Optical Illusion
This is a very bizarre dancer optical illusion. At first glance the spinning lady appears to be circling in a clockwise motion. But if you look at the spinning dancer long enough - the lady will appear to change direction and start spinning counter-clockwise.


This spinning illusion has also been referred to as a Right Brain vs. The Left Brain challenge. It's a tough one and it takes a lot of focus.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

I can't see her spinning clockwise at all, are you sure she is appearing to spin clockwise cause all I see is counter clockwise.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Yeah, I can actually make her go back and forth, LOL

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

All I see is clockwise.

Wait, never mind, now she's switching back and forth. WEIRD!

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

i can make her go both ways

whole brained ;)

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

hahaha, i can make her go back and forth to. :)

very niice Dan!! :D

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

hmmm so which way is she actually turning? We can see her going both ways, but you know she can't be, that's impossible, so which way is she really going? hmmm, and hmmm

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

:mfr_lol: Doh! :shocked: :smoke:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

well,

from how i see it...

its really turning counter clockwise.

they say above, that at first glance it looks to be going clockwise... but every glance i take, and when i stare at it.. its counterclockwise.. lol

hmm... yea... im prety sure she's really going anticlockwise. lol

clothes?? that's what spoonin is for!!. haha

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

This is a great exercise into right brain left brain use. I think most people on Avalon would be able to see the lady going both ways.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

She doesn't change for me. She stays clockwise.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Yeah! The image is flipping clockwise and counter clockwise for me...:original:

It's weird...:shocked:

:naughty:

Namaste,
Love and Light to ALL,

Trav.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

yep i saw it in both ways :original:

does that make me special :naughty:

and can i have a figure like hers

that will make me spin :naughty:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

What website does this come from?

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

I found if I concentrated really hard, the light went on and she ran away shrieking ;)


(Seriously - both ways. We were taught to do this at school in music classes, if you cant do it, you can learn it. Its a kind of mental gymnastics)

Note: it only works if you have animations enabled !

Off-topic!! :mfr_lol:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Here is another test. See how well you do. Good luck!

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

I got 0% first time :naughty:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

This is absolute BS imho. I sat here for 15 minutes watching and at one point she is on her left leg spinning clockwise, then at some point she switches to her right leg spinning counter clockwise. So, my mind isn't doing it, I just had to watch it long enough... lmao. Thanks for the game though.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

First time I got 88% and second time 100%. Fun test :original:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Scroll the screen down until all you see is the shadow of the feet. If you watch closely, you can see when they pull the switch. The lifted foot shadow never moves the opposite way. This a hoax.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

I have to disagree. My wife and I were watching it at the same time and she said it was going clockwise and I was seeing it counterclockwise. The trick is to watch the shadow at the bottom and visualize which way you think she is rotating and then look up at her. Works for me anyway.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Oh? just watch one leg, or one arm. It doesn't change ever. Whatever leg she's standing on when you start, right or left, just keep watching it as either the right or left. It doesn't change no matter how long you watch.

It is our perception changing, not the spinning image.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Critical thinking required...

What you are seeing is a blob morphing in a rythmic manner that suggests movement about an axis, but the case is not proven that it is a "she" a "dancer" or anything else - however a suggestion has been made which most people would automatically buy into. Just like our ego's and the illusion we live in today.

The fact you may think it represents a dancer, a model of a dancer etc, is all down to suggestion. The fact that most people here will be able to control how that works is no suprise. There is no trickery - it is after all single animated gif file, a never ending loop of still pictures.

To suggest it is a hoax is completely hilarious! No disrespect Argante but honestly that was quite funny.

It is what it is. We can layer our own perceptions/understandings on top.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Haha I remember this girl. Someone posted this when avalon first started.. I can see both ways.
If you can't see it change direction concentrate on the shadow for a while.. it will happen. :shocked:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Take the image and download it. Put it in a photo software program where you can see each frame. Pay particular attention to frames 13 & 14.

A hack of the spinning girl illusion

Here is another one... just an illusion.

The Einstein Hollow Face Illusion

And Anchor, no offense was taken at all... lol I have always enjoyed our conversations, and you are a good and honorable man. I am thrilled to see you back as a Mod. Keep up the good work!!

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

LOL, it was Arcora who posted this in a thread a long time ago.
Argante and Anchor, remember this is just for fun!, you know, fun?! LOL
If I just look at her knees she actually doesn't spin at all in either direction, just goes back and forth.

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

im not special :roll1::roll1::roll1::roll1:
:tears::tears::tears::tears::tears::tears:

Re: Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge
 

Yup, as is life, fun! (Well most of the time...)

We can learn from everything, even if it is from a set of images that represent a morphing blob that you claim is the likeness of a dancer spinning around one way or the other :)
