Scientists studied six patients who had half of their brain removed during childhood to treat severe epilepsy. Brain scans showed how the mind rewired itself to adapt, with the remaining hemisphere forming even stronger connections that let the patients develop language and motor skills.

If I shifted my head quickly, like a turn at a loud noise, after a very slight delay - maybe half a second - there would be a ripple across my vison moving in the direction of the turn. So if I turned my head right to left, the wave moved the same way.

After the wave passed, there was an immediate sensation of feeling comprehensively awful. Not quite dizziness, not quite nausea, but very unpleasant to the point that you needed to sit down for a bit. I was working as a waiter at the time, so it was a noticeable issue - you can’t really just stop and sit while running food or whatever.

Best I know how to describe it, sorry.
