After working on some technical stuff, it is automatically counter-clockwise, but prior to this automatically clockwise.

It goes back and forth for me - if I take my eyes off for just a split second it will switch, and then switch back later. I started with it going clockwise, though.

yea at first it was clockwise but then I looked at the reflection for a few moments and then it switched.

For me the same as Will...
First clockwise, but without reading any of the text, I noticed the reflection, so the facts told me she was going counter-clockwise, and then I could see it.

LEFT BRAIN FUNCTIONS  RIGHT BRAIN FUNCTIONS
facts rule                           imagination rules

That means that imagination rules, but facts overrules for me. Does that mean I'm dual sided?

well I found I can change her direction in about 5.66 seconds on average, at the 2.5 second mark her reflection and her body seem to go in opposite directions.

Crapo, I can't see anything.  I guess I have no left OR right brain!

EDIT-->  Ahh, it finally came up!  Is that girl naked?  Someone needs to turn on the lights gosh darnit!

Hey, hey.  None of that.  This is a PG site.  Wait.  What have I just said?

Someone made a point yesterday I've heard before - what if this is more about which eye is stronger and not the brain function in isolation...or is it a combination of both?

It has nothing to do with which eye is stronger. It has to do with how you interpret depth in a negative (or I guess in this case empty) space. Since its only a 2D image without any detail besides a silhouette your brain has to guessimate on what is in front and what is in back.

Try looking at it cross-eyed. It seems to judder about for me, almost coming to a standstill on many occassions. Just wondered how it affects those who see it going anti clockwise.

Clockwise first then both.
If you blink at regular 1 rotation intervals you can make her go in reverse automatically. If you blink really fast she does the Can-Can-Kitty-Kitty-Can-Can! :D

But, Will, what if one eye's receptors are clearer or stronger?  Wouldn't that interpretation skew the results for the brain?   ;D

Whaaa? For me, it was initially clockwise, but that changed when I looked at it upside-down briefly. Now I can see both. But clockwise completely conflicts with the side of my brain that I most use, because I'm a CompSci.
Or maybe the left side of my brain is just worn out.
The Magners could be having an effect too... :P

Not really, I mean all you really need to see this thing is two bit color depth so I would say its entirely up to your brain, I don't think it has anything to do with which eye is stronger, or which eye sees it first.

Try moving your finger in front of the screen in the opposite way to how you see her spinning :D
She should switch direction.

The test is probably flawed. Whether right or left brain we are used to seeing some things turn clockwise i.e. clocks.
