Trial Outcomes

Performance on Tests of Hemispatial Neglect and Sustained Attention

"Touchscreen Cancellation: This is a computerised scale for measuring the severity of spatial neglect as described in previous publications (Malhotra et al, Annals of Neurology 2006; Parton et al, Neuroreport 2006). Patients are asked to find and touch targets (which are embedded amongst distractors) on a touchscreen. In the variant of the task employed here, the targets are not marked when touched (Invisible Cancellation).The maximum number of targets that can be found is 64 (Therefore minimum score =0, maximum = 64), which represents normal performance."
