Madame you must do the basketball one!!

It isn't really a man in the coffee beans-- it is a bean-shaped man, or man-shaped bean, or is it a man? No, don't give it away.

sweetbabyjames--how do you know which side of the brain you are are using?? I can't tell!

GP, this thing led me to check out the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. The introduction suggests a shift in the mode of perceiving visual information, which can be honed and then re-applied in other problem-solving ways, even those not necessarily visual in nature.

We have an ongoing joke in our house about whether our daughter will follow me into the arts or pursue something more left-brained like her father. I tease and assure her I'll accept her even if she becomes a scientist, and there's no shame in it as long as it makes you happy, etc... But it seems to me that creative thinking is important anyway.

I'm confused... I see the dancer turning clockwise - but I don't see how she could possibly be seen going anti-clockwise at all!!!!


And I didn't find the man in the coffee beans... I just wanted a cup of coffee!!! ... but then I am easily confused.

I didn't even find the coffee beans.

This thread is worth its weight in gold!...Griffin, get yourself on a plane..pronto...to Oz...a tutorial (avec vin) on how to make the dancer stop for a nanosecond...and then with a bit of headeffort you'll be able to make her turn the other way...my husband and daughter think it so funny the way I move my head a)towards the screen and b)turn my head anti-clockwise...it helps!

ain't the brain marvellous...

I've seen this before, never knew if it was rigged or not. Although, such an experiment can be conducted much easier. Cover one eye with your hand and focus on an object, then repeat it with the other eye. Whichever one doesn't move and stays focused, that is what side of the brain you use.

Ha..I think she doesn't switch directions. Trickery I tell you...but fun. I forwarded the link to friends...see what they say! Thanks!

Here's another amazing piece of visual processing: http://psy.ucsd.edu/~sanstis/SABloob.html

IF in fact, it's true. I assume it is but it's devilish to accept!

I'm sure this is rigged. I think it is random and goes clockwise and anti clockwise. It also pauses briefly sometimes before reversing, but not always.

I had her doing flip flops in the beginning, but after reading each description, she turned in that direction by the time I had finished. TOTALLY COOL!
