There are photogenic epilepsy (triggered by sunlight filtering through trees) which shows tonic-clonic convulsions, television epilepsy (triggered by television), and phonogenic epilepsy (triggered by specific sounds or music) which shows complex partial seizures. Psychological factors such as being absorbed in television or music also play a promoting role.
