Is this really a matter of perception? I swear - I was just staring at the spinning girl on the screen and she was turning clockwise wise - then all of the sudden without any effort from me she started spinning counter clockwise and after about 30 seconds she was spinning clockwise again.
I think the video loop is just changing not my perception

but I recall having see this some months ago also, and I think I could see it rotating either way. Maybe my brain has changed behaviour since then (oh! how I wish it had...

It's only clockwise, unless you have no grasp of geometry, or deliberately ignore the reflection and imagine you're looking upwards from below. (Which would seem pretty pointless...)
