perception games

ok lets start up with this one - what do you see? (continue below)

experiments have shown that little kids are not able to recognize this 'intimate' couple because they don't have something like that in their brain. what they see is 9 dolphins. if you're having a hard time to recognize the dolphins in max. 3 secs your mind is already tainted.

concentrate on the cross in the middle:

what is it? a circle or a spiral?


-------------------------------------------------------

the red horizontal lines, are they parallel or not?


-------------------------------------------------------

just enjoy those:

concentrate on the cross and move your head to the front and to the back:

many thanks to my mother for always supplying me with nice things like these.

These are really cool. I was looking for something to use to start a meeting....the dolphin one would be perfect, but prob. too racy.

Interesting how our frame of reference changes what we see! Thanks for sharing!

As I was reviewing the pictures on this web page, I had two perceptions of almost every picture, which make me do a double take. I saw two images in some pictures, I saw images that looked like they were moving & I even saw JESUS on the last one where you focused on the dots! It's crazy how an image can make your mind race and make you think many different things.

I thought this was really interesting! i tried it on my ten year old cousin and he couldn't see the dolphins but my younger sisters could.

This was very cool. When looking at the first image at first i didn't see much of anything but after a second look i saw the intamte picture. Then i read the caption and tried to see dolphins. Another picture that was interesting was the last one after following the instructions i saw a bearded man religous figure....

Wow, that was interesting! My favorite image was the Jesus one. It freaked me out a little in the beginning, but afterwards I kept doing it because it was really cool! :D (I even shared these pictures with my mom)
