Hi, i’m new here in this website.

I have a doubt. My husband and I saw the spinning dancer but he never saw her turning in both sides. what does it means??? he only saw her turning into the clockwise.

Thank you!!

Hi all, new to here… neat reading everyone’s comments, we’re all a little bit off, and here’s something fun to do with the spinning girl. I enjoy watching her switch directions at will.

Here’s MY trick, for the spinning girl – it works for me, and might work for you too…

Look at the leg on the ground, picture it as a RIGHT LEG, she spins to the LEFT, picture it as her LEFT LEG, she spins to the RIGHT. Commit your self to this, say it in your head (or aloud if you can ha ha) and it will glitch almost, then switch Enjoy!!

Oh, and P.S., I was looking for the “man” like a seeing eye thing in the beans, and it needs to be said, it is a REAL face, of a man…. which as soon as I saw it, I was actually startled by seeing him!

Several Years ago I saw the woman spinning anti-clockwise and with a little effort I could make her change direction.

But due to obvious changes in the way I was processing data, I took a lot of tests again. The woman now spins clockwise for me and I simply cannot make her spin the other way. I was not surprised.

I took a whole battery of tests of brain function and the results were all the same. I’m now extremely right brained. Another tests says I’m 32% left brained and 68% right brained. I was not surprised.

I now longer think in words. It’s all images and just “knowing”. It’s much more efficient and very fast. My best friend now calls me a Mentalist due to the way I can see future events with extreme clarity. I sure have freaked him out a few times and we have a good laugh about it. My ex wife was freaked out to the extent that she actually blamed me for making bad things happen and demanded I stop doing it, but I cannot. So I had to end the relationship. Others tell my I’m just plain psychic. And a very gifted one at that. And because of what I can now do, I’ve become very spiritual. I needed something to hold me down into reality and to give me direction and purpose. I can help people who truly need it in ways that defy conventional psychology.

I now have the gift of music as well. I learned to play the guitar in just 3 months and I’m now a gifted singer song writer and getting better at it very quickly. I love music. I can sing as well.

You know what, after further investigation, I think I was wrong. I can get it to change direction whenever I want now just by looking at it. The trick is to use her foot’s shadow.

Einstein- You are wrong about your theory. This is just an optical/mental illusion. The best way to prove it,is to get several people to look at the image at the same time. You will see that some will see it spinning clockwise,while at the same time others will see it going counter clockwise,and when it changes for one person,it won’t for another. But don’t take my word for it,do the experiment yourself. Just remember,not to bias the other participants by telling them what they should be seeing,just ask,what they see.

Actually I think the “spinning girl” picture is a prank. She changes direction on purpose. I had a feeling this was a bunch of bull but couldn’t figure out a way to prove it to myself. Until I tried the following:

Proof: Right click the pic and save a copy to your desktop. Now resize your browser and open up the picture that you saved to your desktop so that both are visible at the same time. At times, they both will be spinning in opposite directions.

Nice try.

I don’t think this was a real mind bender. I believe it is an animation that changes direction randomly.

In order to do it I stare at the picture and while I cant exactly describe what I do because its almost instinctual I forcibly blur my vision and refocus with and concentrate on the image and 9/10 times within 5 seconds the rotations switch. Back and forth. If I take my eyes off it the image stays that rotation until I focus it back to the previous and it stays that again.

I can make her switch with a short 5 second bit of concentration back and forth.

Causes me a headache though.

Dear Professer:
Thank you very much for your sparing your precious time to read my letter.I am a Chinese student who just has finished the university entrance exam and facing the problem of chose a profession. And I love math and so I want to choose the math as what I will major in in the university . And I see the word from the http://www.readnrock.com/?p=38 and I copied it below. I think I did it without covering any of the section of the spinning dancer. And it can change as soon as the change of my will and all goes stable not after a long time. And because there is no word talking about the link between the picture and the one’s iq in this passage. I become unsure about it. And there is also another word give the different conclusion like that “Anti-clockwise rotation, suddenly become clockwise, then IQ is above 160!” on many websites.
(Here is the word I copy directly from http://www.readnrock.com/?p=38.
“If you see this lady turning clockwise you are using your right brain.
If you see her turning anti-clockwise, you are using your left brain.
Some people can see her turning both ways, but most people see her only one way.
See if you can make her go one way and then the other by shifting the brain’s current.
If you can switch between seeing her turn either way at will without shifting your gaze, your IQ is above 160 … which is almost at genius level!
This was devised at Yale University for a 5 year study on the human brain and its functions.
Only 14% of the US population can see her move both ways.”)
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGIAN!
