Recently very interested in Determinism and Free will and it’s relevance to the universe and such. Not sure how I feel about it and if I even believe it’s relation and relevance. Going to be looking into it shortly. Feel free to send me a message concerning your opinion on such matters!

Neglect syndrome is an interesting neurological disorder which causes a disruption in the ability to shift attention. It is caused by lesions in either hemisphere, particularly on the right posterior parietal lobe. A person with this syndrome will ignore objects on one side of the spatial midline. In severe cases, the person will not believe that the other “side” of the universe exists. He will shave only one side of his face, brush one side of his mouth, eat from one side of his face, and draw only half of figures (as depicted above). 
I’m trying to study for my neuroscience exam. I think this may be an interesting way to do it. :-)
