Abstract
Fourteen control subjects and thirty left-brain-damaged (LBD) patients with or without neglect performed 3 straight-ahead pointing task with their lef t hand while blindfolded. Results showed a significant correlation between the position of the egocentric reference and thr presence of light neglect signs. We discuss here the egocentric hypotheses of spatial bias.
