Seizures happen in the brain. As your brain effects the entire body, other parts can be seen to be affected when seizures happen, like people shaking. Your brain is constantly active, with lots of electrical activity. If something disrupts that activity then the brain may malfunction for a moment. In simple terms that is what happens when seizures happen. In reality it is far more complicated than that. There are many kinds of seizures and many causes of seizures, so there is not a single specific answer to that part of your question. Seizures have many causes and many levels of severity. What causes a seizure in one person may have no effect on someone else. It is commonly thought that flashing lights cause seizures for anyone that has epilepsy. In fact that is a cause of seizures in only about 3% to 5% of all people who have epilepsy. So most people with epilepsy have absolutely no problem with flashing lights. Their seizures have other causes which can be many and varied.
