The feeling you reported (starts on the crown of head, shifts down to cover the back of head before rolling forward stopping behind eyes before dissipating entirely), as well as the previous history of brain injury and family history of epilepsy might indicate that you are experiencing a mild form of epilepsy.
Temporal lobe epilepsy is one of the possible forms. However, please do not despair until complete diagnostics are done, because you did not mention the most characteristic symptom of epilepsy which is seizures. The diagnostic procedures would involve: anamnesis, a physical examination, and an EEG (electroencephalogram). An EEG is used to detect the abnormalities in the brain cell activities by registering the changes in the electric charges on the surface of the head where electrodes are placed.
You might want to visit a neurologist for further diagnostics and treatment.
