Caused an operation on a brain woman epilepsy listen to your favorite music, doctors said from Long Iceland Jewish Medical Center. 25 years old Stacey Gayle, who supervised a safe banking and customer service bank in Canada, with up to 10 seizures a day, despite the fact that it was given to the treatment, which was to regulate the amount of drugs seized. Her condition was very serious, and she had to work and to leave the choir in which she sang. 18 months ago she began to notice that most of the attacks by listening to music and hip-hop reggae occur. Their suspicions were confirmed when she was in February last year, visited the medical center, and during the inspection music was included, after they suffered three attacks. According to Dr. Ashesh Mehta, it was a very interesting opportunity to examine a woman's brain and determine whether there is a relationship between music listening and seizures. During the first surgery, doctors have more than 100 electrodes in the right side of her brain, implemented to locate the affected area. In the second procedure, surgeons remove the electrodes along the part of their brain, which is supposedly the cause of seizures. Surgeons have the latest technology used to locate the affected area of the brain, and then took a four-hour operation. After she was released from the hospital, epilepsy are not repeated.
