Photosensitive epilepsy

[homie]

Where have all the strobe lights gone? I've played DOOM for 15 years so I must be desensitized to rapid flash and high speed eye twitching transitions in video games.

Some poor guy in the news today who received email containing content that triggered his photosensitive epilepsy condition has a criminal case against the sender. This strobe light effect on certain parts of the brain can put you into distress if you are epileptic.

But how do you know if you are susceptible?

Do you find yourself hypnotized sitting behind a turning vehicle with some of these intense new flashing LED's? I do, and I've often wondered how far they will go before we all spaz out in the car looking at someones turn indicator.

Anyhow, here is a video that will mess you up if you have photosensitive epilepsy... SO DON'T WATCH IT IF YOU DO!

WARNING! ---- DO NOT WATCH THIS ALONE IF YOU THINK YOU'RE EPILEPTIC

Wow man... Far out! Would have been better with some Hendrix

Haven't watched tv for a while but some newscasts used to warn of flash photography. Maybe having the same effect? In the 60's we called them flash backs-far out man!
