YES! When I go to the neurologist they shine strobe lights in my eyes to induce a seizure when I get an EEG (Electro Encephelogram). When Pokemon first came on the air it was giving kids all over Japan seizures...I wonder why the strobes cause this?

The condition appears to involve the primary visual cortex, which processes visual information. The cortexes of photosensitive are easily excited; flashing patterns overwhelm them, setting off a barrage of neuron firing that overwhelm the cortex.

Also, I don't know if you've read this but perhaps >this< will help, as well.

I am SO happy that I just saw this in another thread - the BFP monthy report...

I was JUST getting ready to STEP back in here and "apologize" for the very strange intrusion into this thread - on "my username behalf".

Although, my space was shot here right then... I felt HORRIBLE that the rest of you shut down, and if anyone NEW here were possibly stopped in their tracks as well - at this time from any posting.

PLEASE AND THANK YOU!!!??? Continue on!!!!!?????

I will rejoin when I feel comfortable. K?

Love and hugs to all,
WILDCAT
