me and Gummy Bear were wondering if twitches are normal, i was thinking it might have something to do with screwed up electrical signals from the brain..... am i right, or is it something else?

go ask a doctor.

Twitches or spasms can be a sign of a neurological disorder.

You should ask you personal physician about it.

Also, age of onset matter, so the things it can be can differ whether they appear in childhood or as an adult.

k, i was just wondering. also, if you expect something is gonna happen that's not going to harm you in any way, is it normal to not reflex at all? because when the doctor has his little hammer thingy made of rubber, i don't reflex because I'm expecting it to hit me and not hurt. and I'm pretty sure nothing's wrong with me.

My eye twitches on and off every now and then, so I decided to research it when I was concerned about it back in the day. What I mainly found out was that it was due to heavy fatigue (studying really late into the night with physics will do that to you) and a few other things.

A good research project would to take several different parts and see what their cause of twitching is, and see if there are any correlations between the symptoms.
