The goal of this article was to approximate the research on the prismatic adaptation as a method of rehabilitation of patients with attentional deficit – hemispatial neglect. These research have a direct application value. The goal of it is to discover the mechanisms of prismatic adaptation and put it into practice in neuropsychological rehabilitation. The patients with hemispatial neglect ignore objects appearing in the contralesional visual field. It is the source of substantial difficulties in daily functioning. Many results of clinical experiments suggest positive influence of prismatic adaptation, but some let us doubt in its effectiveness. These inconsistencies are the topic for future research on prismatic adaptation as well as careful consideration.
Phenomenon of Bistable PerceptionThe article aims to draw attention to bistable perception which turns out to be a very interesting subject of experimental and theoretical discussion. This term is understood as visual perception which involves at least two interpretations of what is perceived. Research into this phenomenon provides new facts and knowledge in the field of visual perception. It Indicates that volitional influence on the perception of ambiguous figures is possible, through the influence of top-down cognitive modulation in which mainly parietal and frontal areas of the brain are involved. The results of the study constitute an important argument in the ongoing discussion on the role of sensory data and knowledge in the process of visual perception.
