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.
Graham F. A. Harding and Peter M. Jeavons are the authors of Photosensitive Epilepsy, New Edition, published by Wiley.
