title: Correlation between the position of the egocentric reference and right neglect signs in left-brain-damaged patients.
abstract: Fourteen control subjects and thirty left-brain-damaged (LBD) patients with or without neglect performed a straight-ahead pointing task with their left hand while blindfolded. Results showed a significant correlation between the position of the egocentric reference and the presence of right neglect signs. We discuss here the egocentric hypotheses of spatial bias.
