The Right Brain vs Left Brain test

zombie boy 2000

I'm still at a lost. Maybe I should turn my monitor upside-down.

AndyGwis

now it's totally going counter-clockwise. This thing just keeps changing or something. It's not my brain.

The only thing I'm sure of anymore is that it's a female with nice ****.

Neither; her left leg goes from the right side to the left side and back:eek: :eek:

I haven't read anything past the first page, but HTrookie is 100% correct.

The first time I looked, it was definitely going clockwise. But then it seemed to switch rather randomly. But it's HARD for me to stare at it and MAKE it switch.

After reading HTrookie's comment and looking at it again, you can definitely tell it's just moving back and forth, and our minds are making it appear to turn one way or the other. I guess that's how you can determine which side of your brain is dominate from such a picture.

Just look at her raised leg and her butt. You can tell that she is turning such that her leg is pointing away from you, rotates counter-clockwise until it points at you, then all of a sudden it's pointing away from you again and rotates clockwise until it's pointing at you, and just continues like that. I know it sounds weird, but just stare at her butt long enough...you'll see what I'm talking about. Maybe.


Aaaand, who in the heck says 'anti-clockwise'??

Clockwise, period, I can't see anything else no matter how I look at it.

She is spinning to the right.

Well, I guess at least the Australians do since that's the Perth now website

RuSsMaN

Ok, it's ****, I just saw it change she spun to the left for a few revolutions, then back right again.

Early B.

Right leg raised -- clockwise
Left leg raised -- anti-clockwise

audiobliss

And it keeps going back and forth between the two. Just stare at her butt/hip, and you can tell she's switching every half-revolution.

RuSsMaN

I do not get this AT ALL. But I looked at demi's post, and moved the page so I could just see the legs only (as pictured below) - no hands - I can switch back and forth easily.

I don't get how, but I can go either way now.

AB --

Stop staring at her butt! For this violation, you are remanded to the tasteful babe thread.

Geez --

We must be bored to death today to get this thread to 3 pages.

I've yet to achieve counter-clockwise enlightenment. And I've spent the entire work day in a Zen state. Maybe I'll be forced to pull some overtime.

I see that the key is in the feet....

auto_pilot

Spinning...I don't see spinning

I just see a hot girl's sillouette;)









For the record...clockwise.

Midnite Mick

Okay, I got it now. I did what Russman did and to switch directions I focus on the feet shadow....then scroll back up. I can flip it either way now.

Mike

PS. That's insane...I'll never trust my eyes again

audiobliss

Ok, I'm going to ATTEMPT to explain what it is I'm talking about. Hopefully I'll somewhat clearly get my point across, and hopefully not everyone will agree I'm just insane.


Imagine this woman starts with her right leg raised, pointing away from us. She then rotates CLOCKWISE with her raised right leg swinging TOWARD us until it is pointing at us. Since she's just one black blob and we can't see any detail on her person, the only thing we can go by is her edges. When she's away from us, her butt is just this wide black blob. As she rotates CLOCKWISE towards us, her 'blob' of a butt begins to get smaller as the left and right buttock become one in front of the other, instead of side by side. However, at some point during her rotation, her right buttock pokes out behind her left buttock. At this point you can KNOW that her right leg is raised, her left foot is on the mat, and she is spinning CLOCKWISE. Look at the screenshot I took below:



You can see at her hips that her right buttock is sticking out past her left buttock, because it's closer to us. Also, take a look at her raised foot. We know that the inside toes stick out farther. The side of her farthest away from us is the longest, meaning that must be the inside of her foot. Proof positive that's her right foot.







Now, let's take a look at it from another angle. If she starts out with her LEFT leg raised in the air, pointing away from us, and is rotating COUNTERCLOCKWISE, then we'll see a similar but opposite result. Again, with her leg pointing away from us, her butt is one wide black blob. As she rotates COUNTERCLOCKWISE with her raised LEFT leg coming towards us, her butt becomes smaller as her left and right buttocks become one in front of the other instead of side by side. Now, again, at some point during the rotation COUNTERCLOCKWISE, her LEFT buttock will poke out and become visible because it's closer to us. Again, now you KNOW that her LEFT leg is raised, and it is rotating towards us COUNERCLOCKWISE. Take a look at the screenshot below:



You can see the LEFT buttock sticking out behind the right buttock, because it is closer to us. Again, take a look at her raised foot. It is longer on the side farther away from us, meaning that is the inside of her foot and so must be her left foot.







Anybody follow what I'm saying here? Having said all that, it is my proposition that she starts with her leg away from us, and rotates towards us with one leg raised (right if clockwise, left if counterclockwise), and when she reaches the point where her leg is pointing towards us, BAM!, she starts back at square one and rotates towards us going the other direction.

Again, this works because she's a uniform blob of black and we can't see any real details on her body that distinguish left from right. So, when she switches, we can't tell the difference. We also can't tell the difference by looking at her legs BECAUSE: If her left leg is raised and she's rotating COUNTERCLOCKWISE towards us, when her leg is pointing towards us, even though it's her left leg, it's on the right side of the screen. So, when BAM! her leg's facing away from us and it's her right leg, it's still on the right side of the screen.

Try this:

Focus ONLY at her legs, from about the knee down. As you're watching, imagine that what she is actually doing is swinging her foot back and forth ALWAYS POINTING TOWARDS YOU, out of the screen. Can you see that? Now, if you look a little higher, at her hips, then it is apparent that when she transitions from swinging her foot either right to left OR left to right, the apparent leg that is raised changes. It is always the leading leg that is raised - if she's doing the CW half circle, pointing towards you (so her leg is swinging from the right of the screen to the left), then HER right leg is raised, as is her right arm; if she's doing the CCW half-circle (so her leg is swinging out towards you from the left side of the screen to the right), then HER left leg is raised, as is her left arm.

The image isn't changing at all. You .. well, I.. can make her apparent direction change just by looking for that change. And it is easiest to do, in my opinion, by looking ONLY at her feet and telling yourself she IS changing directions, rather than wondering WHETHER she's changing directions.

The REAL test here is a sexual orientation test... whether you spent more time looking at her legs or her ****. They could have produced the same effect with a silhouette of John Goodman or Drew Carey, but that wouldn't have been nearly so fun to watch.

AndyGwis

I can flip back and forth now. Not sure how I'm doing it, but I turn my head sides ways squint my eyes a bit, then look up and it changes from clockwise to counterclockwise.

If I turn my head from right to left, I can follow it back and forth, clockwise then counterclockwise, like it's being twisted back and forth.

Polkitup2

Clockwise always here

Didn't that happen at the first Polkfest?

I'm sure that if she opens her legs just a little bit she will fall

I saw the dancer as standing on her left leg and sweeping her right leg from right to left, then left to right.

I used a graphics utility, Ulead GIG Animator ver. 5, to decompose the animated gif file into its idividual images. The dancer file consists of 34 images. The dancer starts with her back to the viewer and standing on her left leg with her right leg up (frame 1). The right leg is swept around toward the viewer's right and then on around until the dancer is facing the viewer. The dancer stops her pivot when her right leg is pointed towards the viewer's left (frame 25). The dancer then reverses direction and sweeps her right leg back to the viewer's right, stopping at frame 34 with her back to the viewer and standing on her left leg. The sequence then repeats. The movement of the dancer's foot shadows on the floor (particularly frame 25) inform the actual orientation of the dancer's leg movements.

Many of the frames trick the eye because the dancer can either be read as facing the viewer or with her back to the viewer. This can cause her motion to alternately be read as either right to left or left to right.

Frame 1: The eye can read this frame as either a) the dancer is facing the viewer and is standing on the heel of her right foot...or b) the dancer is standing with her back to the viewer and her left foot is flat on the floor.

Frame 4: The eye can read this frame as either a) the dancer's back is to the viewer, her left arm is extended and her left foot is flat on the floor...or b) the dancer is facing the viewer, but her body is angled towards the viewer's right, her right arm is extended, and she is pivoting on the heel of her right foot.

Frame 17: The eye can read this frame as either a) the dancer's back is to the viewer, her right foot is on the floor and her left foot is up...or b) the dancer's face is to the viewer, her left foot is on the floor and her right foot is up.

If I sequence through the frames in Ulead GIF Animator, I can make the dancer appear to change direction depending on whether I assume she is initially facing me or has her back to me.

My visual interpretation of the gif's apparent motion makes sense to me because I am ambidextrous (neither left nor right handed), and like many ambidextrous people, am neither left nor right brained.

audiobliss

Woooow. That's amazing. Totally makes sense, though. Makes it a lot more seamless than how I was figuring.

treitz3

I dunno man. The left side of my brain is telling my right side that it's full of **** and vise-versa. Now they are fighting with each other. Thanks. They will be at odds all night now.

Gonna have to get the other head workin' with the wifey to make them forget about it.....:D

BaggedLancer

i can see both now after focusing on the shadow for a bit

Brain teasers are always cool....


I've posted this on here before, but its been awhile back.

Check out the block marked A and the block marked B....They are both the same shade of color.

Systems

Guys... Stop making me try to waken brain cells long ago killed with to much beer.

Rivrrat

If I stare at the space between her foot and the shadow, and then blink, I can make it change direction.

mrbigbluelight

Boy, and I thought I had too much free time on my hands.

I really didn't believe this one until I took a white piece of paper and poked a small hole in it and set it on each square. They are the same color.

I'm not sure what just happened, I had some kind of Lara Croft flashback.
