I had this done and I found out bright white like when the sun is shining on the snow, florescent green and amber were the 3 main colors that triggered sz. for me.

Sue:

I've had many photo & strobe EEG's done, but never a
colorized one. I just tried to do a research for a name for
one.

But I know this one thing - Fluorescent Lights are a nightmare
to me, especially if the ballasts are going bad or the lights are
going bad and they really begin to flicker. That's why I wear
sunglasses on my head all the time, even at nights.

Those things will either provoke a Migraine or Seizure or even
worse, a Migralepsy.


I've learned to look away or shut my eyes or look downwards
if those things begins to fire off.

Strobe Lights on the other hand ... is really weird with me,
sometimes it won't do anything, and sometimes it causes me
to tremble up where I beg them to turn it off, to a point where
I'm almost in tears. And within an hour or so, I get this huge
massive headache ... like what happened when I had my EEG
last Friday ...

But I never had any colorized light EEG
