Yes, it is true. During an EEG the technician usually conducts one or more tests using a strobe light. There is evidence that flashing lights, certain video games and even cartoons/movies can trigger seizures. The Nintendo Game Boy even use to carry the warning that its use can trigger seizures.

According to yahoo health under prevention for seizures it says:
Avoid activities that might trigger a seizure, such as playing video games that have flashing or flickering lights. In rare cases, the flashing lights and geometric patterns of video games can trigger seizures in children
