Alice in Wonderland Syndrome


There was a very interesting paper written discussing Alice In Wonderland in the context of Neurological research. It explained many of the strange occurences in the novel by giving them explanations in brain change. For example the scene where Alice witnesses / experiences her neck lengthening is now a known neurological syndrome named Alice In Wonderland Syndome caused by overstimulation of the area in the brain that deals with the body image of the head and neck area.
One of my ideas has been to let my protagonist (a loose version of Alice) to experience this sensation after her alter self has tampered with the interior of the library.
