Images too small?

Looking ok to me, illusion working correctly for me. --OscarTheCat ^talk

The third blue/green blanket image is too small to show the effects in the article. Clicking on it for the full image does work correctly. Perhaps a zoomed portion of it could be shown in the article? DMahalko (talk) 04:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cannot see rotation?

I know one person who is not able to see any rotation in these types of illusions. We are curious what it is about her visual processing that is different? Any clues appreciated!

Not sure. Did you try looking at one place and blinking as fast as you can? Do you see motion easily?

And if all else fails, take the jpg of either contrast pinwheel image (or both), and flash it (them) on and off. Each time the image appears you should see the 'spokes' turning. And, if that doesn't work go to Akyoshi's page, and see the variants there. He's added more contrast steps, and gets a powerful effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amherbert (talk • contribs) 20:46, 20 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Better image

A much better image can be seen on [1], although I believe it's too big to be put here. 82.18.180.58 23:42, 31 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

James Nestor's book describes this - but it does NOT work for me either

I don't see rotating either. Then again, I'm very different than other people. I can't process visual info as quickly as others do. I'm very ill (painful fibromyalgic muscles) + chemical sensitive & photosensitive.

I get terrible headaches from fluoresence & from bright lights.

I found this page due to browsing James Nestor's website re: his book Get High Now. None of Nestor's visuals worked on me, frankly.

Anyway, as much as Nestor thinks he's being scientific, he's forgetting a major point: And that's, that the actual reason some people may get dizzy, is due to the strong EMFs of computer fluoresence, rather than directly due to the images themselves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.203.40.251 (talk) 21:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
