A member asked:
Can an epileptic seizure be delayed? for example, if i have photosensitive epilepsy and im in a room where there are flashing lights, but i leave the room. can the brain remember the flashing lights and have a seizure after some minutes?

Very less likely by my opinion.

Photic stimulation sometimes is used with EEG’s to provoke seizure activity but even in sensitive cases, turning off light curtails. The frequency of the flashes is key and departure is truly best approach to avoid an attack and to stay alert
