#epileptic — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #epileptic, aggregated by home.social.

  1. How far away are we from doing large-scale single unit recordings in human? Serious question
    Like what’s the kind of electrodes / tetrodes that are currently available and used to record in humans (say, #Epileptic patients)?
    #Neuroscience #NeuroHuman

  2. Can’t believe I’m seeing people defend #Elon’s #flashing #X light. Do these people not know this could potentially cause someone to have an #epileptic #seizure? Pretty #ableist TBH. #flashinglights #seizures #epilepsy #stobelights #abelism #ElonMusk #Musk #Twitter #eyestrain

  3. It's time to make my #introduction

    I'm Pallas. I'm
    #Aplatonic #aromantic (#demiromantic) and #genderqueer. I consider myself #Omnigender, because I have at least one gender of any quality, but I don't necessarily experience every gender.

    I'm technically
    #asexual and #asensual, but as I experience other types of #PhysicalAttraction strongly, I just say I'm a #grayce #MspecGay

    I love retro/vintage things, including but not limited to:
    #CLassicTV, #OldHollywood #OldSchoolVisualKei, #ClassicalMusic (Mostly from the Galant/classical and romantic periods), #ClassicLiterature, #VintageFashion and more; and I'm particularly interested in the intersection between queerness and those things, like queer artists of the pass and queer rep on old media.

    As you can see for my profile picture, my favourite composer is Beethoven

    I'm
    #neurodivergent (#Autistic and #epileptic) and, beside vintage/retro stuff, my special Interest are #Space related things and #linguistics.

    I'm
    #disabled and require the use of #AltText as my vision often doesn't work properly due to nerve-related issues.

    I'm not new to either the
    #fediverse, I've been in and out of it since 2018 (Not because I didn't like it, I just pass from times where I don't use #SocialMedia), nor fully to #Calckey or #Misskey, I've tried them in the past without good results; the places I was in either died or I didn't felt at home in. So here I'm trying to give this side of the fediverse another try!

  4. Researchers from #Lund University in Sweden have discovered higher levels of #immune #proteins in the blood before and after an #epileptic #seizure. The possible #biomarkers can be identified using a simple #blood test.

    @ned

    I'm a #gay, #disabled, #pastor of a #nondenominational church. I speak English and sign #ASL. I'm currently learning #BiblicalHebrew. I'm #epileptic, have #IBS, and #gout. My interests include the #Bible, #ancient #NearEast #history, #mythology and #folklore, #art (yes #furry, but not just furry), #LGBTQIA+ culture and #activism, #FOSS, Classic Dungeons & Dragons (AD&D, B/X), #Discworld, #MarvelComics, #StarTrek, and whatever new thing I learned about this week from YouTube/XKCD/social/wherever.

  6. Does anyone know of any #doom wads or source ports with settings that help reduce flickering or quick harsh light transitions? I want to be able to really play it again and stream some custom wads

  7. I as an #autistic find moving #ProfilePicture s and #emojis / #stickers, whatever they are, disturbing. Especially the latter ones; they are always in screaming bright colors.

    Dunno do they the same for other #autistics?

    And how it is for people with #epilepsy? As some might know, for instance, flashing lights can be a risk, if you are #epileptic.

    So I started to wonder, is it really a must to use things that move in so many posts?

  8. #TerribleLizards great as usual. Especially as besides #biomechanics of #dinosaurs (& how to build fast #Frankenstein animals) @iszi @dave_hone & @johnrhutchinson also talked about #disability.

    Best wishes from a fellow #epileptic, John. I agree: we who can talk about it should increase #visibility for those who can't.

    Though, despite being a regular at our local #comedy venue, I still have to meet a #standup #comedian who isn't a bit shy...

  9. You can use animated GIFs for your profile avatar and header on Mastodon. Uploads are at:

    ⚠️ Do NOT use rapidly flashing images, as these can be extremely dangerous for people with certain neurological conditions.

    If you don't want other people's GIFS to autoplay, you can switch them all off by going to:

    Preferences > Appearance > Autoplay animated GIFs (untick, then click "Save Changes")
