Neglect: mirror, mirror, on the wall--is the left side there at all?
Visuo-spatial neglect has long been thought of as a disorder of attention, but a recent experiment shows that, when images from the left side are reflected by a mirror into the 'good' hemispace, neglect patients behave as if the object were behind, or in, the mirror - as if the left side of their world did not 'exist'.
