We have been involved in developing/using VR for rehab of movement and attentional disorders following stroke (CVA) with funding from the EC Telematics programme. Simon Rushton at Edinburgh (S.K.Rushton@ed.ac.uk) headed the work on attentional problems, including unilateral neglect, which arises from parietal damage. We also have current work on movment disorders based at Reading. We have some early publications on this and a tome of a report about to go to the EC. Contact Simon for specific info on attentional disorders or me for general project info (e.g. info sheets etc..) John W ********************************************************* Dr John P.
