I feel like I am the only person who CAN'T see the counter clockwise spin. Have tried all the tricks people suggest to make the spin reverse, still only clockwise. I feel robbed by my own brain. I WANNA SEE THE COOL SHIT, BRAIN, JUST LET ME SEE HER SPIN THE OTHER WAY (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻

You aren't the only one. It's very clearly spinning clockwise to my brain, and nothing I do changes that.

Look at the feet. I could only see the same direction when the image was not fully visible at once.

I confirm, by hiding everything above her feet i can trick my brain into changing direction. I couldn't make her move counterclockwise

Amazing, your trick worked!

It only works for me if I use my peripheral vision. On the wiki page try looking at the text to the left with the image on the right.

*edit: If I read the first sentence under "Effect" she pops around when I get to the words "the lack". Hope that helps!

I find that slowly shaking my head in time back and forth can “compel” the model to go the other way. I am able to see both for that reason.
