Working memory (WM) is a core aspect of executive function, related to temporary storage of information to be manipulated and used by other cognitive processes. Despite the lack of a consensus definition and theoretical model to explain this function, its assessment is a key aspect in clinical practice, both for diagnostic and intervention purposes. Furthermore, as a cognitive process, WM is ke...

It has been proposed recently that a deficit in keeping track of spatial locations may contribute to the severity of unilateral neglect in some right hemisphere stroke patients. However, performance on traditional spatial working memory (SWM) tasks (e.g. Corsi blocks) might be confounded by failure to encode leftward locations, rather than a true deficit of maintaining locations in SWM. Here we...

Few studies have focused on the role of the vestibular system for navigation and spatial memory functions in humans, with controversial results. Since most experimental settings were based on magnetic resonance imaging volumetry of the hippocampus and virtual navigation task on a PC, aim of this study was to investigate whether a well-compensated unilateral peripheral vestibular hypofunction in...

A recent case report of interhemispheric correlational measures in a callosotomized patient by Corsi-Cabrera, Trías, Guevara, Haro, and Hernández in 1995 provided evidence taken by the authors of the study to suggest that the corpus callosum may not be crucial to interhemispheric coupling. This conclusion was proposed even though (1) presurgical correlation measures necessary for evaluating coh...

1 At the time this work was performed, Maria Corsi was a Research and Development Agent at CANMET-Energy Technology Centre, Natural Resources Canada. ABSTRACT The evolving capabilities of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) offer new opportunities to automate some parts of the commissioning process and can generate benefits over the entire life of a building. These benefits include a redu...
