Document Summary
Gelastic epilepsy, laughing seizures: girl raised her hands, laughed, wet herself, then returned to normal, had hematoma. When removed, treated her seizures: reflex epilepsy. Color areas light up when looking at black and white numbers: martian color effect: sees colors that aren"t seen in the real world. See like a zoom lens, either sees 5 as one color, or sees all the 3"s as another color. Happens all at once: different fonts of e"s may evoke a more saturated color, hippocampus minor only in human brain - what claimed by darwin, claimed that humanity resided on that portion. Can"t name fingers: can understand jokes, taught in school: not taught to chimps , can"t do booba kiki test well. Fails to understand metaphors, takes them literally: so there was a brain structure exclusive to humans, don"t hallucinate because of base flatline signal your eye sends to brain.
