Doctors at Long Island Jewish Medical Center were able to help a woman they say suffered a seizure when she heard certain rap music.
LIJ doctors say approximately three million people across the country suffer from epilepsy. However, they say 25-year-old Stacey Gayle suffered from a rare form that could not be helped with medication.
Gayle says she would have a seizure whenever she heard the song ?Temperature? by Seal Paul. LIJ doctors diagnosed Gayle with musicogenic epilepsy. They tested Gayle and were able to pinpoint the problem area in her brain. After surgery, Gayle has now been seizure-free for three months.
