    For me,i think it:
    Moves both ways - equally /
    male
    right-handed
    under 30 years of age
    engineer

    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 something similiar.

    Figure moves clockwise
    Female
    Ambidextrous
    over 40
    housewife

    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.
