Visual Field Defect, Peripheral, Stroke
Improving Visual Field Deficits With Noninvasive Brain Stimulation
This is a randomized, pilot interventional study in participants with visual field deficit (VFD) caused by cortical lesion. Damage to the primary visual cortex (V1) causes a contra-lesional, homonymous loss of conscious vision…
