Optical Filters Inhibiting Television-induced Photosensitive Seizures
Neurol 57:1767-1773,1747, Takahashi,Y.,et al, 2001
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Televised images are the most common stimulus for provoking photosensitive seizures in photosensitive persons. To inhibit photosensitive seizures in photosensitive persons how do or do not have epilepsy, the authors sought nonpharmacologic methods for reducing the levels of photic stimulation of televised images. Both filters individually inhibited PPR insufficiently (less than 50%). Compound optical filters, composed of both types of filters, can inhibit the PPR, approximately 90% for IP S and 95% for photic stimulation with CRT. These compound optical filters do not destroy chromaticity of emissions from the television's CRT. These compound filters may be useful to prevent seizures induced by television in photosensitive persons.
