How do you know if teh (profile head) is a boy or a mom or whatever?

glatt 04-23-2013 11:11 AM

I don't know why the son took me so long. I was staring directly at him and wondering if that could be one too, but wasn't seeing it. Then came back later, and he jumped out at me.

I can't work out how the Footie Fan picture can work.
But what I can say is "Get some suntan lotion on that child, stat!"

This is a new one I saw on Brain games the other night and had never seen before.

Look at the yellow dot, which way do the balls rotate, look at the red, they should switch.

You can also mess around with the speed by looking at different areas of the orange. It slows down as you look to the edges, speeds up when you look between the two rings of dots. You can almost get the dots to stop orbiting but they they still spin.

Clodfobble 05-27-2013 04:39 PM

Neat. Now stare at the spot between them, and try to see them both spinning in their true direction (both counterclockwise.)

I suspect this has to do with the distribution of cones and rods in the retina.
Your center of vision (acuity) is via the cones, while night and peripheral vision is via the rods.
The cones see color and refresh rapidly, while the rods see b/w and are slower to refresh.

If you do that then ever so slightly move your eyes to your right, you can reverse the rotation to clockwise.

orthodoc 05-27-2013 06:45 PM

Looking about 2:00 from the red dot is the closest I can get to stopping the spin on both sides.

What does this mean? After some excellent Viognier and a Black Russian, I don't know, but I'm sure it's significant.

ZenGum 05-28-2013 05:25 AM

Like, whoaahh ....


There is a conflict generated in our brains by the use of black and white stripes in the moving dots. The dots are moving at one pace, and I think the stripes actually move within the dots, thereby suggesting a different pace. Both paces are represented in our brains. We flick from one interpretation to another.

There may even be a third interpretation as our brains interpret the dots as holes in a moving screen and the stripes as being the background seen through them, generating a third rate of movement to "perceive".


Seriously, like, whooah.

Flint 05-28-2013 09:54 PM

Immediate thought - why is that an illusion?
Next thought - how irresponsible.
Finally - OMG! Human hands! O wait, I get it.

Silly arse.

I had all the exact same thoughts (except the irresponsible one) in the exact same order.

Took a while, but I knew I could find it.

It's the corner of Capp and 22nd street. Sutro Tower in background.

Gravdigr 09-10-2013 03:15 PM

Hmph...You can't trust anything you read on the internet...

I was wondering how the bay could appear to be that far up in the air...I attributed it to perspective, of some sort.

Look at the two tiles and ask yourself which one is the lighter tile.

Attachment 46168

then hold your finger over the gap between the two, so the gap and all the shading and highlights next to it are covered, and look at the two tiles again, and ask yourself the same question.

lumberjim 12-09-2013 11:43 AM

How come sometimes, I get the YouTube video right in tapatalk, and some times I see the tags and the code for the video, but it's not a link.
Huh?

Removing the Wide from the tags :


lumberjim 01-12-2014 07:58 PM

Eureka.

Now that I see what it is, I have one of those on my desk.

Google Dragon Illusion, there is a pdf you can print in blue green or red. Cut it out, fold it, tape it. Takes about 30 minutes to do.... As I recall... Mine has got to be 6 years old or so, so it's been a while. Interestingly, Kids younger than about 7-8 just can't get it. They can't seem to do the two things you have to do at once in order for the illusion to work in person. You have to cover one eye, while you move but keep your eye on the dragon... OK, three things you have to do. But the kids that get it, love it. It shuts them the Fuck up for the 5 minutes I need to get my customer's attention while I try to sell my snake oil. Love that dragon.
