diop If you were to test positive during an EEG, then they would probably prescribe medicine. I am obviously not a doctor so don't take my advice blindly, but I would suggest not going down that route. It makes no sense for someone to have to take powerful medicine for life just to work at a computer. Not only that, the medicine will likely lead to full out epilepsy, as the drugs are basically neurological depressants, which means that after prolonged use, the brain will rebound when the drugs are not present and be worse than when you started them. But this is common with almost medications that block something.
However, I think I have solution that might work with the help of the people on this board. I'm going to make a fresh thread about it but it boils down to people with this issue acting as a block and pressuring Intel and Nvidia to provide us some way to turn of this processing like dithering and other smoothing tricks. It's a very small demand and we should be able to get it, even if it is just or testing purposes.
It seems manufacturers already understand that flicker is bad, and they are working on that, so there is probably no need to focus on that as they already know. For example, LG has an "eyecare" mode on their TV's so obviously these companies know their screens are bothersome, even just for watching TV at at distant.
So flickering should be solved or at least addressed. But the dithering and other processing still needs to be addressed. I think if we act as a block, we should be able to get Intel or Nvidia to put out some sort of developer kit with options to turn off those things to test if it makes the symptoms go away.
They may even welcome it because they know that their screens are causing eye problems, so having people test it for them and provide feedback saves them money of having to do it themselves.
