Photosensitive Epilepsy (Hardcover, New Edition)

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. The original edition of this book (1975) became the standard text on the condition. This new, expanded edition reviews the earlier studies, surveys all the literature, and details the many studies that have since been carried out on specialist subjects including drug therapy, long term prognosis, pattern sensitivity, TV and 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 discussion on such factors as the genetics of photosensitivity. This is the most comprehensive text available on this increasingly important subject.
