Inhibition of epileptic discharges and seizures by sensory stimuli is an interesting
phenomenon, but highly understudied. Here, we aimed to investigate the modulation of
epileptiform discharges in patients with mesial temporal lobe epilepsy associated with
hippocampal sclerosis (MTLE-HS) via photic stimulation (PS), based on a hypothesis that
light stimulation may activate thalamocortical networks limiting the propagation of interictal
epileptiform discharges. In order to do so, all EEGs performed in patients diagnosed with …
