#2"Schizophrenics aren’t the only ones who see the concave face — people who are drunk or high can also ‘beat’ the illusion."
I had a three beers watching the video, and the first revolution was a concave face. When the next revolution came I saw the illusion and now the illusion is so powerful I can't see it as concave face anymore. I hope that rules me out as schizofrenic...

Contrary to popular belief, schizophrenia is not the same thing as dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder. (Which is I believe what you were suggesting with that joke.)
From Wikipedia:
Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of the
process of thinking and of emotional responsiveness. It most commonly
manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions,
or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant
social or occupational dysfunction.

#5err, i was able to switch it back and forth at will. however, my mind definitely kept wanting to visualize the concave face.

#6I actually saw a concave face until I read the article. Now I see a regular face. I'm not drunk, high, or otherwise on any substance. I hope I'm not schizophrenic, though for some reason I've always thought that it would be awesome to have it like for a few days. So yeah. Concave faces.

#7I could only see it sticking out and couldn't change it back at all. My girlfriend, who's much more much more of an empath and more artistic, could switch it back and forth. Interesting...

"dissociative identity disorder/multiple personality disorder" has been all but dropped by mainstream psychology. It's considered to be an artifact explained as being induced by a number of factors including attention seeking, desire to please therapist, extreme hypochondria and mimicry.

#10I'll have to show this to my girlfriend later. She's been diagnosed as Schizophrenic, but has never agreed with that diagnosis.
