MTV: Gnarls Barkley Video May Induce Seizures

From Reza Shouri, MD, About.com GuideMarch 6, 2008

MTV has banned the new video by Gnarls Barkley, citing that it might be able to induce seizures. The song, Run, has a lot of strobe lights in its visual effects and failed the Harding test, a test used to determine whether or not something shown on television has the ability to induce seizures. The Harding test is also used in video games. Strobe lights, as well as any rapidly flashing lights, may induce seizures in some individuals. For now, the video will not be shown until the strobe light effects are fixed.
