Unlikely: Although it is possible to remain aware of surroundings during a temporal lobe or partial seizure, most individuals with that type of seizure will have altered sensations and may have purposeless movements of lips or hands and are unable to respond or interact during the seizure. If your episodes are recurrent, video tape your event, and discuss with your doctor who may order an EEG.
