I...At first I could only see her turning clockwise. I tried staring right at the image, then I tried it with just my right eye, then just my left eye. I tried relaxing my concentration and focus as much as I could, or focusing as much as I could. Nothing changed, I could only see the dancer turning clockwise.<BR/><BR/>Then I found that if I looked away slightly, so that I was only glimpsing the image with my peripheral vision, suddenly she seemed to alternate direction with every turn, clockwise then counter-clockwise then swinging back clockwise, then counter-clockwise, etc. After a few tries at this, always just seeing her peripherally, I could sometimes see her turn counterclockwise for a couple of turns in a row.<BR/><BR/>I figured out it was because if I was only seeing the image sidelong, I wasn't getting any three-dimensional depth perception of it. But as soon as I look straight at it, it becomes three dimensional again and then I only see the dancer turning clockwise.<BR/><BR/>When I look at the lists of left- and right-brain characteristics, I find most of them can describe me, depending on what I'm doing.Lyle Daggetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10731915540520704368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-42089630541814031672007-10-17T09:48:00.000-07:002007-10-17T09:48:00.000-07:00That was odd.

It made me keep a little dizzy trying to reverse her . . .Nin Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12643167108589844026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-54922125704037030432007-10-17T09:19:00.000-07:002007-10-17T09:19:00.000-07:00I'm uber right brained: no matter how hard I try i...I'm uber right brained: no matter how hard I try i can't see her turning counter clockwise. Of course I always had a hard time seeing those 3-d images made of dots in the 80s, too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
