Follow up investigation of the spontaneous recovery of neglect

| Left | Right | Left | Right | Left | Right | Left | Right | |
| Mean results obtained with formerly acute neglect patients (sessions 1–3) who underwent follow-up examination in the chronic phase (session 4, >3 months after stroke). When applicable, the performance is reported according to the side of the display sheet (left, right). Note instances where mean left–right difference exceeded 20%, as this differential score was used to consider neglect to be clinically manifest. In the line bisection test, the mean displacement of the subjective midpoint to the right (+) or to the left (−) is reported. | ||||||||
