Items related to PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY.
Photosensitive epilepsy is a relatively rare condition in which convulsions are precipitated by visual stimuli. The authors have spent almost 30 years studying this condition and have assembled the largest cohort of patients ever studied by one centre. Their previous book on the subject (1975) became the standard text on this condition. This book reviews the earlier studies, reviews all the literature on this condition in humans and details the many studies that have since been carried out, including studies on drug therapy, the long term prognosis for the condition, pattern sensitivity, video game epilepsy, and convulsions precipitated by other video material. In addition there is advice on procedures to reduce the risk of stimulation from television as well as such factors as the genetics of photosensitivity. This is the most comprehensive text available.

Book Description:
Photosensitive epilepsy is a relatively rare condition in which convulsions are precipitated by visual stimuli. The authors' first edition on the subject (1975) became the standard text and it has now been thoroughly updated to form the most comprehensive review of knowledge on photosensitive epilepsy in humans. It includes details of many recent studies including drug therapy and the genetics of photosensitivity and also looks at the long term prognosis for the condition, pattern sensitivity, video game epilepsy and provides advice on procedures to reduce the risk of stimulation from television.
Review:
"...well-written and edited....well-referenced....destined to become the classic reference in the area of photosensitive epilepsy....a must for the reference itineraries of those involved in the treatment of epilepsy in both pediatric and adult age groups, clinical neurophysiologists, and clinical neurophysiology technicians." Daniel Keene, Annals RSPSC
"If you read the first edition, should you read the 'new' edition? Yes. If you didn't read the first edition and you care for people with epilepsy should you read the new edition? Yes." Peter Camfield, The Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences
