I recall that everyone suffering from epilepsy has some kind of "critical"
frequency, which (if I recall right) is the one her/his brain works at when
having a crisis (sp?). If s/he gets a visual stimulation at the frequency,
like when driving in a straight road with trees on the sides and the sun
appearing and disappearing through the trees, an epileptic attack can be
induced.
Maybe they should put warnings on the trees too! :-)
Disclaimer: I am talking about things I read a LONG ago, so I may have
completely distorted the meaning...
