Anything that can interfere with the proper function of the brain can cause seizures and certainly electricity can interfere with the brain. But it seems to me that the brain would have to be involved in the electric shock and in most cases it is not. Sometimes someone will get their head into hot wires, but hard hats are non-conductive and protect you from this.

What is an electric shock?
An electrical shock may cause burns, or it may leave no visible mark on the skin. In either case, an electrical current passing through the body can cause internal damage, cardiac arrest or other injury. Under certain circumstances, even a small amount of electricity can be fatal.

What is an electric fence energiser used for?
An electric fence energizer is used to protect live stock from escaping their pens/fields on a farm or ranch. This device delivers a small shock to the animal to make them back away from the fence. This shock is not enough to hurt them.
How the severity of an electric shock depends on the current and voltage?
he severity of injury from electrical shock depends on the amount of electrical amperage (current) and the length of time the current passes through the body For example, 1/10 of an ampere (amp) of electricity going through the body for just 2 seconds is enough to cause death.
