Persisting asymmetries of vision after right side lesions.
Visual neglect and extinction are well-known effects of lesions in the right hemisphere. This study shows that even with minor or no clinical signs of these deficits, and in the stable phase of recovery, asymmetric visual perception is common after right side lesions. Whole, partial and colour report experiments were used to estimate psychophysical parameters related to visual capacity and atte...
متن کاملVisual attention capacity after right hemisphere lesions.
Recently there has been a growing interest in visual short-term memory (VSTM) including the neural basis of the function. Processing speed, another main aspect of visual attention capacity, has received less investigation. For both cognitive functions human lesion studies are sparse. We used a whole report experiment for estimation of these two parameters in 22 patients with right side stroke. ...
متن کاملPreattentive filling-in of visual surfaces in parietal extinction.
Unilateral brain damage frequently produces "extinction," in which patients can detect brief single visual stimuli on either side but are unaware of a contralesional stimulus if presented concurrently with an ipsilesional stimulus. Explanations for extinction have invoked deficits in initial processes that operate before the focusing of visual attention or in later attentive stages of vision. P...
متن کاملPatient assessment based on a theory of visual attention (TVA): subtle deficits after a right frontal-subcortical lesion.
We report on a patient who complained of reduced awareness in the left visual field, but showed no visual neglect or extinction in clinical testing. By MR scanning, the brain damage was localized to the right basal ganglia, also involving structures in right frontal cortex. Using psychophysical testing and mathematical modeling based on Bundesen's theory of visual attention [TVA; Psychol. Rev. ...
متن کاملSelective deficits in human audition: evidence from lesion studies
The human auditory cortex is the gateway to the most powerful and complex communication systems and yet relatively little is known about its functional organization as compared to the visual system. Several lines of evidence, predominantly from recent studies, indicate that sound recognition and sound localization are processed in two at least partially independent networks. Evidence from human...
