Right Brain vs The Left Brain Challenge

Dantheman62 · 06-08-2009, 02:51 AM

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.

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.

Dantheman62 · 06-08-2009, 03:12 AM

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

Lorien · 06-08-2009, 03:33 AM

All I see is clockwise.

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

THE eXchanger · 06-08-2009, 03:34 AM

whole brained

Orion11 · 06-08-2009, 04:24 AM

very niice Dan!!

BROOK · 06-08-2009, 04:26 AM

I see it going both ways....but I have a hard time believing it's not doing it on it's own

Dantheman62 · 06-08-2009, 04:34 AM

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

BROOK · 06-08-2009, 04:38 AM

Not sure Dan...but I think she needs to put some clothes on...it's gonna get cold tonight

Doh!

Orion11 · 06-08-2009, 06:12 AM

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

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.

Seashore · 06-08-2009, 10:30 AM

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

Traverser · 06-08-2009, 10:45 AM

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

It's weird...

Namaste,
Love and Light to ALL,

Trav.

rhythm · 06-08-2009, 10:53 AM

yep i saw it in both ways

does that make me special

and can i have a figure like hers

that will make me spin

Seashore · 06-08-2009, 10:56 AM

What website does this come from?

Anchor · 06-08-2009, 12:13 PM

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 !

A..

I got 0% first time

Unified Serenity · 06-08-2009, 10:33 PM

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.
