This image sequence is strange. Or maybe I am strange. By now I have played with it quite a bit. And for me it is not easy to see the man in the picture until image 7. The image stops clearly looking like a man about at image 4. And going the reverse the women stops looking clearly like a women about at panel six. I can follow the man along longer but it means to consciously disregard the other aspects. In a meditation-like state I can perceive the whole of the man in image 7 and almost in 8 and in reverse alike. But I have to defocus, not stare and be more dreamy.
Note that I can flip this http://www.youramazingbrain.org.uk/images/supersenses/young_or_old.jpg and this http://www.youramazingbrain.org.uk/images/supersenses/necker_cube.gif (the latter takes about 3 seconds to flip.
The trick is to look at them in sequence, one at a time; an animated gif might have been better in some ways.
In either case, the image works better on one line rather than 2, which I have, but can't upload. When I cross-post this to the LA Rationality Blog (once it's working,) the image will be on one line.
Of course I did look at them in sequence - otherwise I have even more difficulty to see either. Jumping back and forth. But the key point is that for me the overlapping/freezing you mention doesn't seem to occur.
