Can we induce neglect-like leftward biases using rightward shifting prisms? (self.neuroscience)
submitted 11y ago by takeitlikeaditch
I know this is a little technical, but I am having some trouble finding any decent research on it, because it seems that everything is focused on inducing rightward neglect biases using leftward shifting prisms. Is this because right-sided neglect is rare, for whatever reason, and for that same reason is difficult to simulate with rightward shifting prisms?

this paper seems to indicate that patients with a rightward hemispheral bias can be induced to experience leftward bias using rightward shifting prisms. I am not sure how this would extend to people without a preexisting bias condition.

But what do I know, I learned what shifting prisms and hemispheral biases were 15 seconds ago following a quick google search. :D

Edit: FYI

Yeah, that was the only paper that was sort of on the subject that I could find, but I don't know whether or not that's because I'm bad at finding papers, or because there just isn't much research in the topic.

Well, I learned something and that's all that matters, right?
