I do this by focusing on the shadow at the bottom of the image rather than the woman (which is difficult to do). When looking at the shadow, I tell my brain which way the shadow should be going if she's going clockwise, or counter-clockwise. Doing this allows me to immediately "change" her direction according to what way I think she should be going based on the shadow's <I>perceived</I> movement.<BR/><BR/>A couple things come to mind: 1) is there a statistical difference between men's and women's ability to see the image rotating both directions, and 2) I wonder if a similar image of a man (well... not too similar I suppose) would have the same statistical differences. <BR/><BR/>In other words, is the fact that this is a rather voluptuous woman have any affect on our ability to see her turning both directions? <BR/><BR/>Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>Cos(0) MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
