Psychology Experiment [PLEASE VOTE]

That is why only the 'first-occasion' is being marked.

But that still ignores other potential factors such as which part of her body the perverted test subject looks at first.
Zain could at least mention that in the limitations part of his study report (and don't forget to quote me properly! j/k).

When you speak of being left and right-handed, it is pretty much saying one-side is more dominant.

Yeah, regarding motor functions, but does the left side calculate the right eye input and the right side the left eye input and does it matter whether you are left-handed or right-handed when the input is combined? And what implications does this have regarding the turning of this woman on a 2D screen where it doesn't really matter whether you have any eye preference? What you see isn't even a turning woman, it's just a warping of colours through switching of images with silhouettes. Only when your brain applies further logic and experience to it will it turn into a turning woman. That's why it also matters where you look first because different body parts and different stages of the movement may trigger different experiences being called up or different connections being made. And that is also why she can switch and turn the other way.

His findings may still be interesting, but even in small research, it helps to be aware of and point out the limitations and uncertainties of the study.

It's interesting - at the point where the figure starts switching from direction to direction multiple times per second, you actually get a mild fear-response...

No, what brought me a fear response was when I was at work and I opened the thread, and the figure was still!

... then I realised it was Internet Explorer, so had to wait a while for it to fully load.

This totally messes with my head.
I'm sure the gif doesn't loop flawlessly and has been manipulated in some way beyond merely adding colours, but I can't look at it for too long to analyse it without frothing at the mouth a little.

I couldn't get it to spin it anti clockwise until i saw Tiaexz's post. Wow.

It spinned clockwise for me and I'm right handed.

[The Lurker Below]

clockwise first then she switched, right handed

This got interesting with Tiaexz post and then Raz quoting it so I now see 6 of the image on the same page, some of them going one way, others opposite, and the images randomly switching direction.
