Visual and spatial modulation of tactile extinction: behavioural and electrophysiological evidence

Visual and spatial modulation of tactile extinction: behavioural and electrophysiological evidence

Crossing the hands over the midline reduces left tactile extinction to double simultaneous stimulation in right-brain-damaged patients, suggesting that spatial-attentional biases towards the ipsilesional (right) side of space contribute to the patients’ contralesional (left) deficit. We investigated...
