the spinning woman, or right-brain, left-brain
The coolest dang thing I've seen in a while, from the Herald Sun, via Writer Unboxed.
Supposedly the direction in which she spins depends on which hemisphere of the brain is dominant at the time. Now I watched her spin clock-wise half the morning, and then I asked Mr Moth, and he said, "She's spinning counter-clockwise."
She changed directions. HOLY SCHNITZEL!
Then he said, "Now she's spinning clockwise." And she switched again!
I told him get his mental dominating self away from me, haha. (Sort of haha. Eesh.)
I looked at it in Image Ready to try to figure out how it worked, and then I realized even Adobe probably doesn't have a program to explain how two people see the same thing in different ways at the same time.
