flicker vertigo

Flicker vertigo is a condition where exposure to flashing or flickering lights causes dizziness, imbalance, or vertigo—a sensation of spinning or movement. It occurs because certain flickering visual stimuli can overstimulate the brain's visual processing areas or disrupt the normal balance signals from the inner ear, leading to sensations of motion or disorientation. This response varies among individuals, especially those with underlying neurological sensitivities or visual processing differences. It’s not harmful but can be uncomfortable, and reducing exposure to flickering lights or gradually acclimating oneself can help alleviate symptoms.
