What do you see here,

Hi all,

A freind of mine brought her study to my attention, it's not paranormal but it did come up during a paranormal conversation. It would be interesting to see what people thought of it. I know for a fact that there will not be any added questions to the data set relating to "are you psychic" but it may address some issues relating to what one person sees compared to another. Plus we can always answer that question here for ourselves.

It would be great if the answers were posted here in the thread and I could direct my friend towards the thread and we could look at it ourselves and see the contribution from the forum. If you want to keep it private you can always just send the results to the given e mail. I will let you know about the results when I find out myself. Some established averages have already been identified.

thanks all.

from a side angle,when it looks like it's rotating (to me),it's like theres a faint sight of a foetus in inside the human figure. on a really stupid note now,the full on frontal view of the figure's stomach area makes it look like theres an alien's head there - big,slanted eyes and enlarged cranium. :pac:

I see the man rotating, the shadow of a man, the back, neck and shoulders of another man, the alien looking figure in the abdomen area, a man that looks like Marty Whelan/Patrick Bergin and the image of Larry Cunningham in the two kidney shaped dark area's either side of the alien image.

Update:

Thank you to everyone who took part so far. The researcher has thanked everyone and has shared the results so far. BTW, I'm not expecting anything, the person researching this has a hunch though, and I can't explain it, but I'm 100% sure it's explainable, I'm filling people in as I find out.

Regards

Stoner.

(From the researcher)

Thank you for your response to the PET image that I circulated earlier.

Your impression is important and verifies a hunch with respect to a visual illusion. I think it has something to do with a lack of depth cues - but I'm investigating it. It the first in a series of experiments that I hope to do and I think its somehow related to the Spinning Dancer illusion (check wikipedia).

I will post a copy of my full report on the findings as soon as it is available.

For results so far, there is quite a range of observations, (and there is NO 'right' answer!) as follows:

40% Moving Clockwise only
5% Moving Anticlockwise only
11% Moves both ways - equally
26% Moves both ways - Clockwise predominates
18% Moves both ways - ANTI-clockwise predominates
0.4% The figure is stationary

There is no apparent difference, so far, with regard to sex, handedness or age of participants, but I'm continuing to gather data and checking the statistics as I go.

I also appreciate all of the comments received. Thanks again.

It moves one way and then sort of a twitch happens on the screen and it goes the opposite direction.
