Popis: We investigated whether our virtual reality (VR) system task could detect extrapersonal neglect in patients with stroke and attempted to determine which targets were easiest/most difficult to detect for patients with unilateral spatial neglect. Thirty-six participants completed the VR task (neglect [NEG] group, n = 10; elderly healthy [EH] group, n = 11; and young healthy [YH] group, n = 15). The VR task consisted of 18 targets, each with different characteristics (front/side; right/left/both sides; static/dynamic/irregular). Participants verbally reported the detection of targets during the task. Detection percentages were significantly lower in the NEG group than in the EH and YH groups (p
