Same with those 3D puzzle type pictures........never could see the picture in them. Closest I've ever gotten is a bit of a vague depth perception thingy going on but no shapes.

In order to see her spin counter-clockwise, try doing math problems or other complex logic puzzles in your head while watching her and see if that helps.

And for those who can't see her spinning clockwise, you may want to try listening to a bit of music in the background or contemplating a favorite work of art while you watch.

Could you imagine wallpapering your house with that design?

bizarre... initially I saw counter clockwise, and then when I went to your link I saw clockwise

I just look away, imagine it spinning the opposite direction, look back at it, and it spins the direction I imagined. I have trouble making it switch mid spin, but I can do that on occasion.

I have it even stranger ) When I look at the shadow, I can make it rotate anti-clockwise - and I see the silhouette - at the same time - rotating clockwise

Also, it's strange that I'm supposed to use the part of the brain not responsible for logical thinking - I'd think I should be mostly using the logical one, as I work as a games programmer, with algorithms in my head all the time, and no special like of arts.
