Title: Action and Non-invasive Brain Stimulation Training in patients with sub-acute and chronic spatial neglect.

Abstract: Up to 80% of  people who experience a right-hemisphere stroke suffer from  hemispatial neglect,  a severe visuospatial impairment, where they fail to perceive/misperceive items presented in the contralesional part of space. This syndrome is debilitating, impedes rehabilitation, and is a strong independent predictor of poor recovery. In my talk I will present data showing that immediate on-line actions are relatively unimpaired in these neglect patients. Building on this insight, I will discuss two recent rehabilitation studies where we assessed whether these spared actions could be exploited for neglect rehabilitation a) via behavioural visuomotor feedback training or b) in a clinical trial using non-invasive brain stimulation.
