Brain test

Which way is the figure revolving for you?

Can you get your brain to reverse the direction?

Can you get your brain to reverse back to the original?

Can you get your brain to "see" her going back and forth?

Not working for me, but I can't ever see those "invisible picture" things either.

I'm missing the point, but if you look at the shadow I think the figure can only be rotating in one direction, :grin: the shadow disappears off the bottom of the picture indicating that the rotating leg is closer to the viewer. (light source is from behind the figure because the shadow is towards the viewer)

and nope I couldn't get her rotating the other way, guess my brains just stubborn.

<Edit> I did get her to go the other way and back again, going the other way doesn't look quite right though....

Oh and scrub what I said earlier it's just wrong :oops: <edit2> no it's not... I just tried it again I had to cover up the shadow to make her go the other way but if I uncovered the shadow again she went back the other way.

Still can't make it go side to side though :nuts:

Um, what is the ability to make the lady change direction supposed to prove? She goes to the left, but if I blink, I can make her go the other way.

Also, you can wiggle your mouse and she does other things including quick reverses, speed up, slow down, stop... It looks like a mouse widget to me.

Heck, I can even spin her in circles with the mouse.

I think it proves your brain works. :wink:

Really? She doesn't do that for me. You must be special.

It's an animimated gif (left click -> view image and the url ends in .gif) which is a series of frames there is no possible interactivity with it, except your mouse movements clicks scrolling of the webpage effecting the loading speed which would cause jerky behaviour. Appart from that it's all in our heads :crazy: which is the point. :laughing:

I can only see her going one way, right to left. My brain works in one direction I guess.

Is this the infamous Sabrina from the NSS News?

When I checked this morning I got it to spin in the opposite direction for a minute, but then it went back to "normal", and I'm stuck again.......

If you originally saw her moving clockwise, you use more of the right side of your brain.

If you originally saw her moving counter clockwise, you use more of the left side of your brain.

If you can easily get her to move back and forth you use both sides of your brain equally.

The right brain is associated with artistic ability like singing, painting, writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people tend to be more logical and analytical in their thinking and usually excel at mathematics and word skills.
