I had no idea such a thing was possible tho I vaguely remember some Japanese TV doing something like that.

In an article about hypnotism, I once read that Franz Mesmer could put some people into a trance just by looking at them.

Please, I know I’m too old to get a jury summons in Texas any more but I want to be on this jury. What the fu*k has happened to this country, how can you get a blinding flash of light from a computer screen.

I think things like that can indeed cause a seizure in a certain type of susceptible person. I jokingly posted something similar to it to another Freeper once (it was a joking exchange understood on both sides) and another Freeper got a bit upset about it. (It was nothing personal)

Well, I guess I won't get upset unless someone posts "The Brown Note"!

Was an episode of Pokémon. This was before it became big in America. There was a sequence that had very rapidly flashing red and white lights.

It triggered seizures and sent HUNDREDS of children to hospital emergency rooms throughout Japan.

Subsequent broadcasts of the same episode had the dangerous portion edited out.
