This talk is part of the Department of Psychology seminar series at Durham University.
Hemispatial neglect, a frequently observed neuropsychological deficit post-stroke, poses complex challenges in both assessment and rehabilitation. This seminar aims to critically evaluate traditional spatial neglect assessment tools, particularly cancellation tasks, emphasizing the heterogeneous nature of hemispatial neglect and advocating for nuanced assessment tools that consider both spatial and non-spatial dimensions. Furthermore, I will discuss the potential of immersive virtual reality as a promising platform for tailored rehabilitation interventions, offering novel approaches to mitigate the impact of post-stroke hemispatial neglect.
