Why are strobe lights dangerous for some people with epilepsy?
Flashing lights and strobe lights and other forms of irregular lighting can affect the optic nerve and the brain. Looking at any light for a prolonged time can do damage to your eyes, which is why you never do things like stare at the sun. Anyone at any stage of their life can have a seizure and never be diagnosed as having epilepsy. Someone who has recurring seizures is deemed to have epilepsy, but if you had one or two and never had any more, you would not be considered to have epilepsy.So things that trigger seizures in someone who has epilepsy can trigger seizures in anyone. So strobe lights can trigger a seizure in anyone, even if it never happened again. People who have what is known as photosensitive epilepsy can have seizures triggered by strobe lights. Most people who have epilepsy do not have that form, and so strobe lights do not affect them any more than other people who don't have epilepsy at all. Someone who has photosensitive epilepsy has a lower level of susceptibility to strobe lights, than someone who doesn't, but exposing anyone to strobe lighting for long enough could cause them problems, as it is not good to look at it for a long time.
Does technology cause a seizure?
There are many causes of seizures. Flashing lights or strobe lights can trigger seizures in people who have what is known as photosensitive epilepsy, but that is only about 3% of people who have epilepsy. Lights are technology, so for those people, then it can, but for most people with epilepsy, it is not a risk.
Can strobe lights hypnotize a person?
Strobe lights can induce a state of hypnosis in some individuals through a phenomenon known as flicker-induced hypnosis. This occurs when the rapid flickering of the strobe light disrupts the brain's normal processing, leading to altered states of consciousness. However, not everyone is susceptible to this effect, and prolonged exposure to strobe lights can also have negative effects such as seizures or migraines in some individuals. It is important to use strobe lights cautiously and be aware of the potential risks involved.
Can movies give you seasures?

Raves plus epilepsy Good or bad choice I have been over a year free and they can't determine what causes my seizures. But I have been around strobe lights before and I hadn't been a year free and was?
I would say that raves plus epilepsy almost certainly equals a bad choice. Strobe lights can definitely cause seizures. Even if you had been around them before without problems, the cumulative effect of the strobe lights at the raves could have contributed. At the very least, the fact that you are prone to seizures for whatever reason should make you want to stay away from anything that could trigger them again. You could also talk to a trusted doctor to get an opinion on this.
