Influence of Hemianopic Visual Field Loss on Visual Motor Control
BACKGROUND Homonymous hemianopia (HH) is an anisotropic visual impairment characterized by the binocular inability to see one side of the visual field. Patients with HH often misperceive visual space. Here we investigated how HH affects visual motor control. METHODS AND FINDINGS Seven patients with complete HH and no neglect or cognitive decline and seven gender- and age-matched controls view...
متن کاملHemianopic visual field defects elicit hemianopic scanning
Previous explanations for the variability in success of compensating for homonymous hemianopia (HH) has been in terms of extent of the brain injury. In using on-line eye movement registrations, we simulated HH in 16 healthy subjects and compared their scanning performance on a dot counting task to their own "normal" condition and to real HH patients' performance. We evidenced clear parallels be...
متن کاملComplex visual hallucinations in the hemianopic field.
From 120 patients with an homonymous hemianopia 16 experienced complex visual hallucinations in the hemianopic field. The brain lesion was located in the occipital lobe, though damage was not limited to this area. Complex hallucinations appeared after a latent period. They were weak in colour and stereotypical in appearance, which allowed differentiation from visual hallucinations of other caus...
متن کاملFunctional compensation of visual field deficits in hemianopic patients under the influence of different task demands
We investigated the task-specific role of eye and head movements as a compensatory strategy in patients with homonymous visual field deficits (HVFDs) and in age-matched normal controls. All participants were tested in two tasks, i.e. a dot counting (DC) task requiring mostly simple visual scanning and a cognitively more demanding comparative visual search (CVS) task. The CVS task involved recog...
متن کاملVisual imagery in hemianopic patients.
In this article we report some findings about visual imagery in patients with stable homonymous hemianopia compared to healthy control subjects. These findings were obtained by analyzing the gaze control through recording of eye movements in different phases of viewing and imagery. We used six different visual stimuli for the consecutive viewing and imagery phases. With infrared oculography, we...
