Perception

| | |

This seems kind of strange,

an animated figure that can be viewed

differently by different people at the same time.

For me, she can't make up her mind.

She goes clockwise and then she spins counter clockwise and then reverses.

If I watch her out of the corner of my eye as I reread the text she joins the Rockettes and does an alternating line kick.

Left, right, left, right, how weird is that?

 

and why would these perceptions indicate "talents"

This is wild! I sat in front

This is wild! I sat in front of the twirling dancer along with another friend and experienced her twirling in opposite directions. The first time I saw this I thought that it might be a computer trick, but when each of us experience the girl twirling in opposite directions at the same exact time, I then realized that it was happening in the brain and not the program.

This is a prime example of how each of us can be in the same place, yet experience an event or moment totally different. It makes me realize how hard it can be to truly communicate with another person. Heck, I'm amazed that we can even get close!

Thanks for the visual check Gene.

Really neat gene. I am not

Really neat Gene. I am not sure how but when I saw her turning counter clockwise, I just thought her turning clockwise and she was. Weird!

holy wow!

That was better then drugs I have taken in the past, now I know my mind is playing tricks on me, at first the page did not load correctly an I stopped it to check your blog link to the site, with my lap top I use two screens to multi task (a seprate monitor and lap top face). So i am looking at one srceen typing on the other and that image once it was fully loaded on the page did all kinds of things, the legs were like kicking, she was flapping her arms, twisting her head back and forth, and as i read the aritcle only then was the figure acualy spinning.
Creepy, i has to take a break from staring at two monitors for a while and the come back to it. now my brain is screwed. but man was that cool.

No Metal left behind, once was lost but now is all welded together!

Gene, thanks for posting the link.
That was pretty interesting to look at. I saw here going counter clockwise first. I called my wife in to have a look.
She saw her going clockwise. I would see her going clockwise while my wife would see her go the other way. Also, my wife would tell me when she would change directions, she was changing for her and staying the same direction for me.

Pretty cool.
