Photosensitive Epilepsy
Photosensitive Epilepsy is a relatively rare condition, affecting approximately 1 person in 4000. Persons with this condition are susceptible to seizures evoked by flickering lights, such as those produced by a light/sound machine. The information included here on photosensitive epilepsy is mostly from the book "Photosensitive Epilepsy".

Most persons with photosensitive epilepsy have a first seizure during their teenage years (75% by age 20). About half of initial seizures are induced by watching television. Some persons who are susceptible during their teenage years outgrow the condition, about 25% by age 25. As a result, adults over age 25 who have never had a seizure have about 1 chance in 20,000 of being photosensitive and not know it. So for a person who has not had a seizure, the likelihood of being photosensitive varies from 1 in 4000 for children to 1 in 20,000 for adults over 25.
Remember, Even if you have never had a seizure, there is a small chance that you are photosensitive and a light/sound session could cause a seizure in YOU!.
