Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Blinking lights can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy?

Yes. Multiple sources, including a Wikipedia reference article and an expert FAQ from the Epilepsy Foundation, state that flashing lights and certain visual patterns can trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy. A peer-reviewed case report and a scoping review also confirm that photic stimulation provokes seizures in this population.
