This would be so cool / dangerous at the same time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
It would make AE impossible to listen to though. |
||||||||

eh? |

Epilepsy but to audio instead of video. Aural instead of visual. |

how would it be cool? |

? how is epilepsy to video? |

Indeksical: I don't really know. If it was non-serious, you could finally get people dancing to IDM If someone has epilepsy they have to be careful at what they watch/look at. Certain visual patterns will make them have an epileptic fit. |

epilepcy is a lot like you futureimage...not funny. |

I believe more recent research has shown that it isn't the visual patterns themselves creating the seizure, but rather the stress it puts on your nerves. This stress is something that can also be produced by sound or even quite possibly weather (it's a bit speculative, but a swedish research thing seems to have come up with certain results that indicate the possible relation between for instance dry air (supposedly meaning electrical charges don't discharge from you if you build them up) or high pressure creating both migraine and epileptic seizures)... Any kind of stress on your body, both mental and physical could in theory induce the seizure. It's not a "what if," but rather reality. I know you meant it to be funny, but I found it a bit tasteless, sorry. |

No, serious, I didn't try to be funny. I thought it would be really weird, but seeing as it can happen, that's really fucked up. I'll see if I can find some cases where this has actually happened. |

:P I was only messing. nah, I doubt it would be possible as the eyes are a lot more sensitive as a receptor than ears. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I don't think it's just ears.. imagine you're at a concert and standing near the speakers.. feel the bass throughout your body. If that's not a lot of nerves firing at once, I don't know what is... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Actually I suppose it would be possible if you where predisposed to seizures at particular frequencies...it would be a lot more rare than visually induced seizues but possible. |

Mt Saint Michel+Saint Michael's Mount is what I think having audio epilepsy would feel like |
||||||||
|

|
|
An average drill tune? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
apparently, according to wikipedia, it's possible to get it (or have increased chances of getting it) from sleeping, waking up, tiredness, illness, constipation and menstruation. nothing mentions visual impulses (or sound), but I guess that all goes under neurological stress now... |
||||||||
|

hehe, I went to a John Foxx gig recently and the support group, Rubicks (another good band), had a technical hitch. The bassist triggered off what I guess was a sampler (they use a lot of MPCs) and shitloads of bass went thru the PA very loudly. I remember almost falling backwards and being literally POUNDED by the bass. Maybe that was something similar almost... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Definitely, that is a scary ass track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, bass has awesome power.. just hold your hand inside a kick drum |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

I think you have to search as different types of epilepsy (Photosensitive, etc.). That's what I just did. Mt. Saint Michel (or another of the Drukqs drill tunes) has a very fast clicky bit at the end of it. It sounds really weird on headphones. I remember feeling a little weird when I listened to that bit pretty loud on headphones. This keeps on getting stranger and stranger... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
But this was shitloads. Probably even louder than standing next to a PA. It was literally like being punched in the chest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but that's what sound is have you seen a speaker resonating at low low low hz? it's just a membrane moving air forwards... I'd record video of mine doing.. whatever, it's less than one motion per second as far as I can tell, but it doesn't produce neither sound nor pressure, as that is equivalent to just moving your hand forwards and backwards. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I know. It was really weird though, cos it was audible at the same time as you could feel each kinda hit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
odd it's probably because of the overtones. all sound but pure sine waves has.. at least 18 overtones following the natural scale. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
k, thanks for the info. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
meaning even the lowest bass can appear audible while it really just is so that you feel the bass and hear the overtones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
everyone's got idiotic knowledge and no-one seems to be able to hold it in when it isn't required. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
No. I mean the bit at the end that futureimage mentioned there. |
