do you see this acetylacetate complex of Rutherfordium going clockwise or anti-clockwise?

OK this was much easier once i turned animated gifs on

Having voted, I just managed to get her to go round the other way. I saw her clockwise first, but the list of right-brain characteristics doesn't seem like me at all.
― Madchen, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 07:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Yeah, the voting options were a bit off target, I have to admit (although I still can't make her turn clockwise, so for me it's still correct) :-(
― StanM, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 07:13 (sixteen years ago) link
I need to change my vote too - I can get her to go clockwise and I can get them going in different directions with the erd and blue legs. Anti-clockwise by default though.
― Zora, Wednesday, 10 October 2007 18:47 (sixteen years ago) link
she changes direction each time i blink

I've decided she must be turning counterclockwise. I can "see" her turning both ways, but the shadow of the lifted foot only makes sense CCW.

Well! At least their "most of us will see this counter-clockwise" (initially) assumption is wrong, even though the can/cannot change direction in this poll was probably irrelevant.
I've given up on this, if I haven't managed to see her turn clockwise after four days I probably never will :-/
Thanks for participating in the poll though, what a success! :-)
― StanM, Friday, 12 October 2007 08:13 (sixteen years ago) link
Surprised so many more people see her clockwise! But then I forgot to vote for anticlockwise (mostly, can just about make her change w/great effort, usually by closing my eyes and dragging the window so she's on the right or thinking very hard about clockwise rotation). Maybe clockwise types are less likely to remember to vote, but that is at odds with our supposedly more logical brains.
(Which I do not really believe in at all, but if someone shows me that ILX sees her mostly clockwise and, say, slashdot sees her mostly anticlockwise, then I will a) believe and b) have to shoot myself)
― a passing spacecadet, Friday, 12 October 2007 08:32 (sixteen years ago) link
Uh, "maybe anticlockwise types". You see my more logical brain in action, with skills including "words and language" and "knows object name"? Yeah. Yeah, you do.

Four months ago, it was on a page about optical illusions, without any mention of brain hemispheres:
http://www.moillusions.com/2007/06/spinning-sihouette-optical-illusion.html
(I don't know whether that means that the brain thing was added as an interpretation later or someone just took it from a scientific study and sent it to the optical illusion guys)

I just looked at all the shimmery not-really-moving animated section and thought it was good.
Struggling with these "stereogram" ones.
― onimo, Friday, 12 October 2007 14:28 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow, I missed this. I firt see it as clockwise, but can make her go back and forth very easily. All you have to do is decide her outstretched leg is passing in front/in back of her supporting leg, and that does it. I suppose that means I have no brain at all.
― Beth Parker, Friday, 12 October 2007 23:37 (sixteen years ago) link
Counterclockwise at first, then clockwise. Very hard to shift quickly back and forth.
― M.V., Saturday, 13 October 2007 02:26 (sixteen years ago) link
in the morning: counter in the evening: clockwise
might have something to do with this: http://www.ilxor.com/ILX/ThreadSelectedControllerServlet?boardid=60&threadid=2955#msg190

Usually I see it clockwise still... but the shadow of the foot goes anti-clockwise and that's a fact, so I can make it switch by watching that.

was this thread on ilx really a year ago? man time flies fast out of a monkey's ass. so I wanted to post a complaint about left-brained people. they just don't get it, knowhaimsayin?sKnow any people who don't really know what it's like to be moved by music? or how certain notes can hit certain lifetone when performed in the right sequence? Or how angsty singers should often times be shot in the face, and complex angsty music through instrumentation can be a higher form of art - as subtle nuances go? OR how these left brained people don't even notice that there is emotion in say an instrumental track.
Know any left brainers that can't comprehend why a book or movie ended the way it did, because they lack the emotional comprehension skills (at the time) that allow us to perceive how an ending of a piece of art fits in it's 'right' place?
Shit, cuz if you do know people like this, it's like you have to constantly explain yourself. why can't they just get it.

now why is it that this girl is going anti-clockiwise (left-brain) for me right now (was it like that for me the first time?)... I eventually saw her spin both ways the first time I saw that image, but I think it's the initial direction that counts if it takes you at least a couple minutes to get her to spin the other way.
