Summary
This study tested a computer-based training for people who lost part of their vision after a stroke or brain injury. The training used a moving target to help patients automatically look into their blind area. 22 adults with hemianopia (blindness in half the visual field) completed the training. The goal was to see if this automatic approach could improve visual search and reading more than traditional methods.
