John, I can't answer your question directly, but we did some research
into PSE just over a year ago, and were told the following by a
consultant pediatric neurologist at Sheffield children's hospital:
- Teenagers and adolescents are most susceptible.
- Small percentage of people susceptible, effect can vary from funny
feeling to trance or seizure which subsides when stimulus is removed
- There is no lasting damage from such an episode, there is no causal
link to full epilepsy.
- Greatest danger is from falling over or onto objects during seizure
- More likely in low background light levels.
- Closing one eye reduces effect this can be useful preventive
measure for sufferers knowing of condition
- Distress could be caused to observers
I also have a word document with a summary of the replies I received
when I made a similar enquiry to this mailing list at the time.
Please let me know if you'd like me to send it to you.
Nick.

Would anyone have any guidelines on how to design computer graphics
in such a way to avoid inducing Photo Sensitive Epilepsy in anyone
who suffers from that complaint ?
