The idea was to offload some of the monitoring performed by the visual system to the other senses (they also described a system that applied pressure to the pilot's body in order to give him a sense of up and down). If I recall correctly, this came out at Wired. I read about a similar system a few years ago being tested by the army for use with airplane pilots.

]]> Comment on Spinning dancer illusion; left brain vs. right brain hype? by Emily http://edgeofvision.com/2007/10/11/spinning-dancer-illusion-left-brain-vs-right-brain-hype/#comment-8502 Emily Sun, 02 Dec 2007 04:56:17 +0000 http://edgeofvision.com/2007/10/11/spinning-dancer-illusion-left-brain-vs-right-brain-hype/#comment-8502 me and my friends just got into a huge screaming match over this, trying to make each other see each way. after a LONG time i was finally able to see both ways, but i have to sort of look somewhere else, picture her going the other way and then look back. I read somewhere that it's not actually a dancer spinning, but a 2-D dancer going back and forth but our brains are programmed to see it as a 3-D object spinning, which has nothing to do with left-brain vs right-brain dominance. me and my friends just got into a huge screaming match over this, trying to make each other see each way. after a LONG time i was finally able to see both ways, but i have to sort of look somewhere else, picture her going the other way and then look back.

Mertikie, have you tried looking at it with just one eye open? That sometimes helps.
