It took a while to see counter clockwise.  I had to scroll so that I only saw her feet, then slowly started scrolling up

Apparently, the whole left/right brained thing is mostly a bunch of nonsense. But I'm no psychiatrist.

At any rate, somebody mentioned to me that putting a mirror beside it looks really weird. But I stared at it long enough yesterday that I can pretty much control which direction I see it moving in.

I seem to recall always learning that there was a difference in right v. left brain.

I can only see it going clockwise...

Scroll down so you can only see the tip of her toes....slowly scroll up and think about it going counterclockwise.

It took me a little while for it to happen

I got it eventually, and now I can easily change it. That is really weird.

Try making her flip every 180 degrees, freaky`

That's pretty neat, although I don't think it means as much as they're saying it does.

I saw it counter-clockwise initially, then saw it clockwise after staring at it for a while.

I saw this a week or so ago. It started out counter-clockwise and after 10 seconds, it switched to clockwise, and it kind of goes in 10 second cycles for me.

The first time I saw this it did the same to me except it would alternate quicker then 10 seconds, probably about three turns..  I can, like iago said, now control which direction it goes, but it originally went both for me.  :\

Is noone else confused as to why it was necessary to use the silhouette of a naked chick to demonstrate this?

I just assumed she wasn't naked. Like, tight clothes.

But I assume the reason is to give you a better sense of which direction "she" is "looking". Using a disrobed man and having something pointing his direction would probably be a little more inappropriate.

Started out clockwise.  After about 5 seconds I could make it switch at will.  It's pretty easy to do...

When sober she spins clockwise til I try to turn it the other way.
When drinking it is opposite

I saw it going counter-clockwise at first. Then I did the feet-first and it went clockwise.

That's neat. This is neat. :0
