Answer 1

There is actually a wierd phenomenon that normal brains do when excited to strobing lights as well. During an EEG test to try catch seizures they flash a strobe light at specific frequencies and your brain waves will actually synch to the frequency of the lights. As others have said we don’t understand why seizure happen but it’s most likely your brain being overstimulated.
