ALZHEIMERS' EYE TEST

Count every ' F ' in the following text:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE
SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTI
FIC STUDY COMBINED WITH
THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS...
(SEE BELOW)




HOW MANY ?
WRONG, THERE ARE 6 -- no joke.
READ IT AGAIN !
Really, go Back and Try to find the 6 F's before you scroll down.






The reasoning behind is further down.
The brain cannot process 'OF'.

Incredible or what? Go back and look again!!
Anyone who counts all 6 'F's' on the first go is a genius.


Three is normal, four is quite rare.

Hi Hippie, I'm sorry to be a smart-arse but I got all 6 Fs! But it could be because I've seen this sort of thing before and I was well aware of what I was doing!!!! Then again, maybe I'm just a complete and utter genius, yes....I think thats it! Hope youre ok.

I think that's why I put this in the RESEARCH folder!!. I do have another ongoing project with yourself, Boots and Jude in this folder but I'm sure I can make time to research the reasons why our brains don't react to the word 'of'

see what being AF can do?

Nope Trix, it must be pregnancy that allowed Bella`s brain to count 6 F`s, `cos this AF brain didn`t process the "of"s either.

Note that since the cylinder is clear (we are seeing both sides), it is ambiguous which way the cylinder is spinning. As you stare at it, the cylinder may seem to suddenly change in the direction that it is spinning. This phenomenon is commonly made use of in illusions. When there are two competing interpretations of an ambiguous stimulus, the brain will see one for awhile, and then the other. The most famous of such images is the Nekker cube shown here on the left. The cube can be seen with its front most face as pointing down to the right, or up to the left. What is interesting about the cylinder, is that there are actually a huge number of possible interpretations. Each vertical segment (down to a single pixel) could be spinning in a direction independent of its neighboring segments. However, to our knowledge, everyone always sees the entire cylinder spinning in one of the two possible directions.

What really got me about this one was the cube. I could see it pointing down to the right, no problem but trying to see it facing up to the left was a bit more difficult. Once I could visualise it to the left I couldn't for the life of me revisualise it again pointing down to the right for absolutely ages!!
