Site's back up. Good info, but I felt nauseous by the end of the article.

This was interesting:

> Perhaps the most disconcerting feature of the zaps is the jumpy lateral eye movements. “People actually hear their eyes move when they move their eyes from left to right. They almost feel a faint ‘whoosh’ sound in their heads,” Papp explained. “Sometimes, people feel as if the brain stops for a moment and reboots like a computer.”

I wouldn't say I could hear my eyes moving (!), but I definitely noticed that eye movements or a turn of the head could trigger a brain zap. That was one of the most disabling things, as it eventually led to a feeling of restricted freedom of movement and exploration.
