Epileptic seizures triggered by strobe light

In the case of a young man, the light show effect, suffered for an electric music festival with strobe lights, an epileptic seizure, scientists in follow-up for epilepsy typical brain waves measure. The Doctors assumed that these were triggered by the flashes of light, and have carried out a major investigation which confirmed this.

The 20-Year-old collapsed during the electro-music concert, and was for a short time unconscious. His friends described symptoms, the languages for an epileptic seizure. The man had taken no drugs, alcohol, or drugs, and never had an epileptic seizure had. Shortly before the collapse he had the sense feeling of an Aura, which he led back to the flashes of light. The Adjustment of the Situation, the Doctors found that he responded in a fatigued state when Viewing a video of the Festival with the appropriate Brain waves at the flashes of light, what led you to investigate this in more detail.

They observed more than 400,000 concert-goers into two groups, one of which was in daylight and the other listened in-the-dark electronic dance music with strobe light malt. In which the flashes of light in the dark perceived, occurred 3.5 times more frequently in epileptic seizures than in those of the concert visited in the light of day. Ecstasy as a cause of epileptic seizures was found in both groups, about equally often.

The researchers conclude from the results that the strobe can trigger a light in the dark, and for people with epilepsy seizures. They recommend that the concert organizers point out, and vulnerable people should take the appropriate precautions.
