Stare at the image directly for a few minutes. If you notice the image flutter or skip a beat then that is your brain talking to you. It will switch to counterclockwise if you stare long enough.

Now we've all been staring at this for a while. She will spin both ways for me ... sometimes I fancy I can make her change direction, and then I can't ... my brain obviously knows something I don't!
