It’s a pattern of sounds or vision in a certain frequency that causes brainwaves to activate in a specific rhythm. The rhythm of each person’s brain is different.

In those that are susceptible to epilepsy or seizures, these patterns can cause a positive feedback loop. Think of the wind blowing an empty swing set. If the timing is correct, the swing goes higher and higher.
