Abstract
Visuo-spatial neglect has long been thought of as a disorder of attent ion, but a recent experiment shows that, when images from the left sid e are reflected by a mirror into the 'good' hemispace, neglect patient s behave as if the object were behind, or in, the mirror - as if the l eft side of their world did not 'exist'.
