1. It is claimed that children cannot see the couple because they don’t have such images in their primary memory and instead, see nine dolphins.
Note: This is a test for “dirty minds”. It is said that if you need more than 3 seconds to see the dolphins, then there is a kind of… problem!
2. Most people who see this image tend to go up the left stairs and go down the right stairs. This reaction is likely to be influenced by the western way of reading from left to right. While those who read from right to left, like the Arabs, tend to give the opposite answer.
3. There is a claim that if you managed to find the man in 3 seconds, then the right part of your brain is more developed than in the average person. If you found him in about 1 minute, it is believed that the right part of your brain is of the average person. If you needed more than 1 minute to find him, the right part of your brain is said to be slow.
However, there is no evidence to support this claim. But this illusion is still effective if you want to train your attention to detail.
4. According to a popular interpretation, if you see the girl rotating clockwise, then you are using the right hemisphere of your brain at the moment, and vice versa.
However, in reality, the direction of the girl’s rotation is not associated with the function of your brain hemispheres. You can learn more details about it in this article about the spinning girl illusion.
There is no evidence that the above images indeed reveal how your brain hemispheres work. However, they are still fascinating optical illusions that can be used to train your brain!
For example, with the help of the first and the third pictures, you can train your attention to detail. Try to find as many dolphins as you can and find the man’s head as fast as you can.
Look at the second and the fourth images and try to consciously change the direction of the stairs or the spinning girl’s rotation.

It took me a while to be able to see the girl spinning go counter-clockwise, but I stared at her torso in order to finally see it. What's difficult for me is getting it switched back immediately.
One thing about the girl spinning counter-clockwise is that there's a LOT more movement coming from her than when she spins clockwise.
spinning girl just awesome exercise to warm up mind...<3
I can see the girl rotating both clockwise and counterclockwise. It really depends on which leg you believe she has lift up in the air (left or right). I don't think it has anything to do with which brain sphere you are using, lol
Even though the first time I thought she was definitely rotating clockwise after closer inspection I would say that it makes more sense for her to be rotating counterclockwise judging by the shadow underneath her legs. When she is rotating clockwise that shadow doesn't make much sense, because the tip of the toes of her lifted leg throws a shadow on the left side of the picture but hardly any on the right side. When she is rotating counter clockwise her motion seems smoother and longer but if she is to rotate clockwise her motion seems not as smooth and more unnatural
This is a good illusion for sure!
Well in the picture of the rotating woman it switches from clockwise to counterclockwise, so there is the trick its not really that hard its pretty simple. All you have to do is be able to tell the difference. When the girl is moving to the left (counter) then the whole body of the girl is moving to the left and when the girl is moving clockwise, her whole body moves toward the right. On that note every time the girl switches the picture glitches so you should be able to tell the difference.
i see the girl rotating counter clockwise, but when i close my eyes for a while and look again the rotation is become clockwise
