Apparently trauma can cause some kind of stuck hemispherical pathway, and remembering it while looking in differerent directions can help undo that damage. It's weird. That said, regarding ethics and drugs and mental states, if they ever come up with a real life Soma (Huxley, not muscle relaxer), with no negative side effects, I'll be first in line with a wheel barrel.
