Investigation of natural behavior has contributed a number of insights to our understanding
of visual guidance of actions by highlighting the importance of behavioral goals and …

Blindness is a common sequela after stroke affecting the primary visual cortex, presenting as
a contralesional, homonymous, visual field cut. This can occur unilaterally or, less …

Cortical blindness is a chronic loss of vision following damage to the primary visual cortex
(V1) or its postchiasmal afferents. Such damage is followed by a brief period of spontaneous …

Driving is an important rehabilitation goal for patients with homonymous field defects
(HFDs); however, whether or not people with HFDs should be permitted to drive is not clear …

Research has uncovered substantial visual plasticity after occipital strokes, suggesting that
rehabilitative strategies for this condition should be more aggressive. For maximal benefit …

Purpose.: Using a driving simulator, we examined the effects of homonymous hemianopia
(HH) on head scanning behaviors at intersections and evaluated the role of inadequate …

Plasticity appears to be a ubiquitous property of nervous systems, regardless of
developmental stage or complexity. In the visual system of higher mammals, perceptual …

Objective. A variety of rehabilitation strategies have been tried in patients with chronic
hemianopia and quadrantanopia. The authors compared 2 approaches of blind field …

Purpose.: To compare eye and head movements, lane keeping, and vehicle control of
drivers with hemianopic and quadrantanopic field defects with controls, and to identify …

Historically, the study of visual perception has followed a reductionist strategy, with the goal
of understanding complex visually guided behavior by separate analysis of its elemental …
