From its Wikipedia article:
"The illusion has been incorrectly[3] identified as a scientific personality test that supposedly reveals which hemisphere of the brain is dominant in the observer. Under this unproven interpretation, it has been popularly called the Right Brain–Left Brain test,[4] and was widely circulated on the Internet during late 2007 to early 2008."

That Wikipedia article makes it easier to change the direction. If you scroll the frame-by-frame stills at the bottom in either direction, and look at the animation again, you'll probably see it in that direction.
