Messed Up-police Lights And Siren!(seizure Warning!) Site
: Sirens use varying tones like the "wail," "yelp," or "phaser" to clear intersections and alert inattentive drivers.
: For the roughly 3% of people with photosensitive epilepsy, these rapidly moving images and high-pitched noises can synchronize neurons in the brain, potentially triggering a seizure. Real-World Impacts and Risks
: Police lights use high-contrast red and blue strobes often set to frequencies intended to command attention without triggering most seizures (typically below 240 flashes per minute).
Emergency signals are engineered to be impossible to ignore.
