LEFT TO RIGHT IS FRONT TO BACK: ATTENTIONAL DISTORTIONS IN NEAR & FAR SPACE FOR HEALTHY & CLINICAL POPULATIONS

Abstract

We are investigating a perceptual bias that makes people think objects right in front of them are actually slightly to the right but objects far away are slightly to the left. This project will help understand why this happens, to help reduce traffic collisions and help people with brain damage that causes similar perceptual biases.
