A related condition is the Bucha effect, also known as flicker vertigo. Without going as far as epilepsy, after exposure to stroboscopic light the victims feel dizzy, disorientated and debilitated. It was discovered after a series of helicopter crashes in which the pilot was incapacitated by the stroboscopic light generated by the rotor blades.

Famous quotes containing the word effect:
“The second [of Zeno’s arguments about motion] is the one called “Achilles.” This is to the effect that the slowest as it runs will never be caught by the quickest. For the pursuer must first reach the point from which the pursued departed, so that the slower must always be some distance in front.”
—Zeno Of Elea (c. 490–430 B.C.)
