It took about 10 seconds tops to see each one. It's been a long, long time since I've seen one of those! I love them!

I hate magic eye -- I've only seen the hidden picture, like, once in my life.

Those things have been easy for me since I was 10 once I found out what you are supposed to do with them. I can actually do it in a few seconds and see the image. Crossing my eyes does the trick.

Yeah sometimes I have to cross my eyes and let them uncross slowly and sometimes I have to just let my right eye be the dominate eye in the beginning and then let them both relax and just look at the picture. Usually the latter.

Cool, I saw the effect almost immediately. But I guess the fact that I already had a couple of beers in me helped.

I don't think it has anything to do with AS. It is stereoscopic vision and depth perception. A person who is blind in one eye will not be able to see the images.

Or has a lazy eye like me. I can't see them at all.

Do that finger experiment. It will provide the feedback you need to focus your eyes right.

I can do the trick on the website... but how do you do that when something is right in front of your face. I can't trick my eyes to focus in the distance.

Basically when you see the floating finger you can learn the sensation your eye muslces will need/feel like. You do need to
kind of turn your eyes inwards but not competely cross eyed.
The image will appear as various layers projected in front of your computer in your minds eye.

I bet if you printed the image on a transparent plastic sheet (they make them for ink jets) and then held it to a window or taped it to a window and then looked through it to an object behide it the image would pop out 3-D. It is rather shocking effect if you never seen this
before.

Vision is NOT something that the eyes do but the brain. The eyes send signals but it is the brain that interprets them and 'sees'.

My hypothesis is that the ASD/AS brain because of its different wiring than the NT brain will be able to see the 3-D image but at the SAME TIME focus on the individual patterns on the 3-D image.

In other words, WHILE the AS brain sees the 3-D image, it will pay less attention to it and become more interested or even fascinated of the patters and details of the patterns and how these patterns create the 3-D image, how they 'wrap' around the 3-D image if you like.

The other part of the hypothesis is that the reason some people (who do not have a physical impairment that limits them from seeing 3-D) will 'stop' their brain from seeing the image because to see it, the brain has to relax and 'let go' or focus in an unfocused way.

The conscious brain can halt this process because by relaxing, it becomes more open to subconscious thought processing, memories, etc. that resembles daydreaming when the conscious brain taps into the subconscious brain.

I wonder if the people who feel frustrated by not being able to see these images also happen to have problems with bowel movement and constipation.

I apologize if this sounds rude, but it is not meant as rude. If the brain has a problem with control and letting go, this will issue can also affect the actions of the intestines because the bottom line of this action/reaction is fear (of letting go).

Again I apologize if any of the above feels 'personal' to those who replied here. I am not passing a judgement I am just trying to see if there is a conenction between the brain and the body that manifests as a 'blockage' in the visual processing and of bowel movement. Fear and the efefcts of fear can manifest in different ways.

I can see the outline of the image, but I can't see it as a meaningful object. Any techniques here? I try to scan around the outside of the shape, but I lose eye-focus.

No its just a matter of learning to focus your eyes at a point well past your computer screen. That takes conscious control of your eye muscles. Most people control their eye muscles with little conscious thought. It is a motor skills problem just like throwing ball.

It is easy to see them if you know how.

This is one of my favourite ones:

It includes excellent instructions to enable you to see it, but the first time I did it, I saw a different image than the second time I did it.

BINGO!

I just hope some troll doesn't post a picture of some meaningless images and SAY that they are magic eyes. I, for one, would go nuts trying to see the image!
