Yeah, I'd be interested to know what the univ finds. (My educational background is neuro.)Yes he moves normally most of the time. I personally haven’t seen one yet as I am picking him up in a week or so. The rescue did tell me that you can tell one is coming on because he gets a burst of energy and runs around is pen in a circle.
They'll want to see as much video as you can capture of the episodes and a comprehensive description of his behavior the rest of the time.
Although he may find touch grounding, I'd caution against touching his face. Keep your fingers clear of any potential spastic jaw involvement, and take care to not be knocked over. Maybe just a light downward pressure on his shell as you stand to one side. If things seem overly violent or stressful, try keeping a towel nearby to drop over his head...cutting the light can trigger calm.
