What disease or disorder is characterized by sudden episodes of electrical activity in the brain?
This particular symptom sounds like epilepsy. While during a seizure, most epileptics lack responsiveness and are variably comatose/incoherent, the brain is actually overloaded with a high level of firing between synapses, creating a sort of mental wave that the epileptic cannot handle. However I would suggest conducting more research on this matter. There are a whole range of mental conditions or diseases that result in rapid, high concentration brain activity.
