About this trial
The current study evaluates first the assumption that eye-movements during free viewing behavior are potential biomarkers of visuospatial deficits in stroke population. Second, it assesses the feasibility of a novel visual exploration training to ameliorate visuospatial deficits, by exploiting an auditory biofeedback system coupled with online parsed fixations.
