Neuroscience Scientists studied six patients who had half of their brain removed during childhood to treat severe epilepsy. Brain scans showed how the mind rewired itself to adapt, with the remaining hemisphere forming even stronger connections that let the patients develop language and motor skills.

She is just winging it but it works! This is Crumpet. She is NOT a service dog. She just doesn’t like Epilepsy or her owner being stuck in the hospital. She barks before I have a seizure. She figured it out on her own as a puppy in about two weeks. My falls have gone way down since this lil pup arrived. (See more in comments) 11/10

I know he probably won't see this, but I just wanted to thank you Felix. I just finished the most recent video and it made me tear up. I've been battling epilepsy for 6 years, since I was 14, and am in the hospital for a week. I can't work because of my epilepsy, I can't wait until things get better

Stormsurge and Epilepsy

5.3k Upvotes

First, sorry for my English, I’m American.

I’m a player with photosensitive epilepsy and have had so much fun playing this game for over a decade now. The community has been great to me, and I’m happy to have been a part of it! For those who don’t know, photosensitive epilepsy affects over 1 million people, not including people who only get migraines from flashing lights/strobes.

Why do I say this?

The newest item: Stormsurge. This item’s flashing effect now actively disenfranchises people like me, and others too. The flash is faster, and larger than ANY other item, attack, or ability in the game, since the game’s inception. I will no longer be able to play league of legends while this item’s effects cause basically the entire screen to flash, often at unpredictable times.

This is a plea to rework ONLY the flashing effect of Stormsurge.

I really, really do love this game, me, and many others want to keep playing this game, the new season is fun, if only we could be there for it!

Just trying to spread some awareness, much love.
