Brief summary

Compared to the classical paper and pencil-tests, testing patients in our virtual reality setup might have a higher sensitivity and specificity.

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Feasibility	within the first 2 years after stroke	Feasibility of the use of a virtual reality setup in the diagnostics of neglect

Secondary

Measure	Time frame	Description
Sensitivity and Specificity	within the first 2 years after stroke	The diagnostics of neglect via a virtual reality setup is more sensitive and more specific than the standard diagnostics via paper-and-pencil Tests
mri (functional (resting state) and structural imaging	within the first 2 years after stroke	We hypothesize that there are connectivity-based differences in the different stages of neglect and anatomical and functional connectivity correlates with respect to behavioural impairment.
