It is important to remember that epilepsy is not at all well understood, and is essentially a "garbage can" diagnosis. That is, if you have epileptic type seizures now and then, and no one can really show why, the doctors toss you into the epilepsy category. Because of this, there are many different "kinds" of epilepsy. Many epileptics can pass the "strobe test" (mentioned in previous posts) without a problem. On the other hand, some people who fail the strobe test (and have a seizure) show no other signs of epilepsy, and are not labeled as epileptics. I guess what I am trying to say here, is this: Please be careful not to make sweeping statements about what will or will not affect epileptics, because you will probably be wrong for a large percentage of cases.
