How is it possible for nothing but flashing lights to cause a seizure?
In: Biology
… and not everyone with epilepsy get seizures by flashing lights. All seizures originate in some part of the brain (Google the labeled parts) then you get any one kind of seizure. Partial, or a tonic-clonic which is usually the image people get when they hear epilepsy. So visual stimulation is handled mostly in the rear of the brain, in the occipital lobe and the visual cortex. So it’s likely an overstimulation for people with a predesposition for epilepsy in That part of the brain. Others can only get seizures triggered in the frontal or temporal lobe etc. They are never bothered by flashing lights
