Visual search improvement in hemianopic patients after audio-visual stimulation.

One of the most effective techniques in the rehabilitation of visual field defects is based on implementation of oculomotor strategies to compensate for visual field loss. In the present study we develop a new rehabilitation approach based on the audio-visual stimulation of the visual field. Since it has been demonstrated that audio-visual interaction in multisensory neurons can improve tempora...

Visual 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...

Hemianopic 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...

Brain activity associated with stimulation therapy of the visual borderzone in hemianopic stroke patients.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Visual restoration therapy is a home-based treatment program intended to expand visual fields of hemianopic patients through repetitive stimulation of the borderzone adjacent to the blind field. We hypothesized that the training itself would induce visual field location-specific changes in the brain's response to stimuli, a phenomenon demonstrated in animal experiments ...

Complex 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...
