New registrants: if you try to register you will get a message that we are not accepting new members. Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.

GLOSSARY: Sometimes unusual terminology or abbreviations are used that with some luck you might find defined here.

Optical illusions

Normally when i look at optical illusion pix i get the same perceptual phenomena everyone else does. But a couple of these have no effect on me, and i am wondering if there is something different about my mind.

Infuriating optical illusion leaves the internet baffled - so, can YOU figure out if these pinwheels are moving or static?

I get absolutely no sense of motion off this one, yet they seem to impy that everyone does.

"DO YOU SEE SQUARES OR RECTANGLES?"
My mind does not even begin to recognize any squares or rectangles here. Except for the 4 lines on the edges.

Re: Optical illusions

Cannot get the first one to rotate either.
With the second one - by looking at it from some distance, i can see that the corners of the lines together suggest 2 squares.

Re: Optical illusions

Yup, no rotation for me either.

Second one I can see both. Not much of an illusion though.

Re: Optical illusions

The first one definitely rotate for me.

The second no, just static.

Re: Optical illusions

To see it rotate, you can not look at it directly.
Look outside the perimeter of the image. like an inch away.
second image, squares are formed by the rectangles vertices, but nothing really out of the ordinary.
