Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

Preliminary data will be collected about which individuals with spatial neglect from right hemisphere stroke (aiming vs perceptual neglect) improve with Prism Adaptation Training and if there is a particular pattern of damage in the brain that predicts both the type of neglect experienced and whether neglect is improved following Prism Adaptation Training

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults aged 18-90 who've had a right hemisphere stroke within the last month and are suspected of having spatial neglect. They must be able to consent, sit for an hour, point straight ahead, hold a pen with their right hand, and undergo MRI scans. They should not have other conditions affecting testing or training ability.
