What Could Be The Effect Of Flashing Lights On Patient With Encephalitis?
I have a friend who has memory loss due to encephalitis and on Saturday last i took a picture of him and he reported that as the flash was taking place in that split second he remembered the death of his aunt and when she was sick at the hospital. He said that this time when he remembered it it was different, more vivid, and it felt more personal to him and less strange. I have two questions. 1. Is it dangerous to have flashing lights around him so soon after having a seizure due to the encephalitis? and 2. Is it normal for flashing lights to return memory to people with cases like these?
