“…Environmental-motor remapping via virtual reality (VR): Although there is an encouraging number of new studies focusing on the use of VR as a rehabilitation assessment and treatment tool in patients with stroke and traumatic brain injury, there have been very few published studies on the VR treatment of neglect. One exception is the Castiello et al (2004) study, which provided a striking demonstration of possible benefit of VR in neglect rehabilitation. Patients were trained to reach for unseen objects whose virtual image was projected on a screen while wearing a dataglove that captured their hand movements and projected these, too, as images on the screen.…”

Abstract& The spatial neglect syndrome, defined by asymmetric attention and action not attributed to primary motor or sensory dysfunction and accompanied by functional disability, is a major cause of post-stroke morbidity. In this review, we consider the challenges and obstacles facing scientific researches wishing to evaluate the mechanisms and effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions. Spatial neglect is a heterogeneous disorder, for which consensus research definitions are not currently available, and it is unclear which of the deficits associated with the syndrome causes subsequent disability. We review current opinion about methods of assessment, suggest a rational approach to selecting therapies which requires further study, and make systems-level and theoretical recommendations for building theory. We lastly review some creative questions for consideration in future research. &

“…"Space remapping" (ie, including in one's internal representation or "map" of space areas that were formerly neglected) may be induced via a virtual environment, resulting in amelioration of hemispatial neglect. To illustrate, Castiello et al [48] asked six patients with left hemispatial neglect to reach and grasp an unseen object while observing the grasping of the virtual object (the object projected on a screen) by a virtual hand (with the projected course of their own hand in relation to the object). After practice trials in which the virtual object was placed to the left within the virtual environment, all six patients were able to reach for real objects in the previously neglected left hemifield.…”

This article highlights the latest findings regarding the effect of acute and chronic stroke on behavior, specifically left hemispheric injury causing aphasia and right hemispheric injury causing neglect, visual-spatial problems, and other cognitive syndromes. We review papers published in the past 2 years pertaining to localization, assessment, recovery, treatment, and outcomes of aphasia and right hemisphere cognitive syndromes following stroke.

“…Virtual Reality (VR) can, in some circumstances, achieve a kind of "sensory rearrangement" resulting in modified experiences of one's own body (Biocca and Rolland 1998;Castiello et al 2004;Normand et al 2011;Riva 1998;Riva et al 2011). In addition, altered embodiment can be seen as part of a general trend in the way many computer applications are designed: as perceptual tools, rather than cognitive artefacts (Norman, 1993).…”

This conceptual chapter outlines three stages in the development of interactive presence, and outlines some possibilities and challenges raised by each, and by their combination. The first stage, presence via altered embodiment, refers to the way technology allows us to experience the world with modified or enhanced senses. The second stage, via expanded embodiment, refers to technology pushing the envelope of the mental body in which one feels present, out beyond the physical body. Finally, distributed embodiment refers to how the sense of being present in the world can be separated from that of ownership of a particular body, through the development of new approaches to deploying the technologies of virtual realization. We suggest that presence is the yardstick of embodiment from an experiential perspective. If you cannot feel presence, you are not embodied in the world.

Abstract: It is possible to re-create links between the affected and the nonaffected space. Wielding a tool is not a necessary condition in reopening neglected space.
