Conventional treatments for unilateral spatial neglect focus on attention, directing training, but such methods are limited when attention networks are damaged, making outcomes dependent on patients' abilities. This study explores a method to promote responses to the neglected space without engaging the attentional network.
Express visuomotor response (EVR; a rapid limb adjustment to sudden target shifts during reaching) occurs through a reflexive, subcortical pathway, likely involving the superior colliculus, and does not require attention. Therefore, EVR may help guide movements toward neglected space.
Additionally, presenting stimuli from the neglected (left) field into the attended (right) field, or using specific colors and illustrations processed via non-attentional visual pathways, may further enhance responses. This study tests whether combining EVR, visuospatial shifts, and visual features can effectively facilitate reactions toward the neglected space.
