A song by Sean Paul titled "Temperature," triggers a woman to seizure. Stacey Gayle said that the seizures occur regardless of the volume that the song is played.
Gayle noticed the connection between her seizures and the music at a cookout where the song was being played, "then it happened at a restaurant," she said.
Dr. Orrin Devinsky, director of the Epilepsy Center at the New York University Medical Center said that they typically see one or two patients a year who have musicogenic epilepsy.
It is not the actual sound or rhythm of the music that causes the trigger, but the emotional connection that one has to the song he or she is hearing. It could be jazz, rock n' roll or country music. As long as it connects to the one who is hearing it.
Essentially, the part of the brain that processes music and emotions associated with music can be overlapping with areas of the brain that trigger seizures, explained Devinsky.
