The Use of Hemifield Eye-Patching for Modifying the Perceptual-Attentional Bias in Healthy Individuals
<p>Healthy individuals do not perceive the left and right sides of space equally, showing a leftward spatial bias on visuospatial tasks. This bias may be more attributed to a perceptual-attentional (PA) component than a motor-intentional (MI) component. While monocular eye patching alters this …

An Investigation of the Neural Correlates of Working Memory in Healthy Individuals and Individuals With Schizophrenia
Individuals with schizophrenia exhibit substantial deficits in their ability to perform working memory (WM) tasks, and these deficits have a critical impact on health and life outcomes for these patients, and may be fundamental to the neurophysiological basis of the disorder itself. However, …
