I have spots blinking that get larger and when I was younger watching cartoons. I would get sick with the spots, I would be out. I then found out I had seizures. The EEG focus was right at the line of the occipital and temporal lobe. The temporal lobe has what is called the visual field which are fine strans that go to the occipital lobe. Occipital Lobe is important for sight. Neurology is a tangaly web only a Neurologist or Epileptologist can explain. I have had 2 brain surgeries.
I am sensitive to TV at times, sometimes music too. There can be many causes and I will let the professionals tell us the reasons why. Once my medications are fine. I have eaten my vegetables and fruits, exercised appropriately. I have worked 15 years in research. It really is a mixed web of knowledge. A fancy MRI found out the cause of my seizures which I have had for 40 years.
I noted you just have to keep things in balance and no matter what your health situation is. Having the experience of raising a family. To much of TV for one child is mesmerizing, the computer can be also mesmerizing too. I wish you the best.

Does anyone have seizures associated with watching television? Most likely, people who have been diagnosed with, or people who may eventually become diagnosed with, Occipital Lobe Epilepsy, because the individual's seizure focus or seizure spot would be located in the Occipital Lobe region of the brain.
