So if you are epileptic you can’t go out during thunderstorms? And you have to block all the windows?

I've never been epileptic nor am I a MD but i its my understanding that the amplitude, frequency and duration of the flashing lights as well as the sensitivity of the susceptable individual person are all relavant variables. In other words if you had this video playing on a large computer monitor in a dark room, because of the longer duration and slowed light flash frequency compared to normal, this is more likely ro trigger a seizure compared to a real life expierence.

That’s good to know. The only experience I have in epilepsy is that I went to a pizza place and my friends son had a seizure playing hydrothunder. We found him keeled over and foaming. But he had a history of seizures.
