Help docs! i'm trying to find out what causes video game seizures?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strobe-like effect: The fluctuating lights and stimuli in a video game might act like a trigger to desynchronize brain rhythmical activity, and cause a seizure response in a susceptible individual who possesses pre-existing epilepsy. If this describes you, see a neurologist and start an anti-epileptic medication, and your problem will be controlled.
