Abstract
Abstract Visuospatial neglect is a disorder characterized by an impairment of attention, most commonly to the left side of space in individuals with stroke or injury to the right hemisphere. Clinical diagnosis is largely based on performance on pen and paper examinations that are unable to accurately measure the speed of processing environmental stimuli—important for interacting in our dynamic world. Numerous studies of impairment after visuospatial neglect demonstrate delayed reaction times when reaching to the left. However, little is known of the visuospatial impairment in other spatial directions and, further, the influence of the arm being assessed. In this study, we quantify the ability of a large cohort of 204 healthy control participants (females = 102) and 265 individuals with stroke (right hemisphere damage = 162, left hemisphere damage = 103; mean age 62) to generate goal-directed reaches. Participants used both their contralesional and ipsilesional arms to perform a centre-out visually guided reaching task in the horizontal plane. We found that the range of visuospatial impairment can vary dramatically across individuals with some individuals displaying reaction time impairments restricted to a relatively small portion of the workspace, whereas others displayed reaction time impairments in all spatial directions. Reaction time impairments were observed in individuals with right or left hemisphere lesions (48% and 30%, respectively). Directional impairments commonly rotated clockwise when reaching with the left versus the right arms. Impairment in all spatial directions was more prevalent in right than left hemisphere lesions (32% and 12%, respectively). Behavioral Inattention Test scores significantly correlated (r = −0.49, P < 0.005) with reaction time impairments but a large portion of individuals not identified as having visuospatial neglect on the Behavioral Inattention Test still displayed reaction time impairments (35%). MRI and CT scans identified distinct white matter and cortical regions of damage for individuals with directional (insula, inferior frontal–occipital fasciculus and inferior longitudinal fasciculus) and general (superior and middle temporal gyri) visuospatial impairment. This study highlights the prevalence and diversity of visuospatial impairments that can occur following stroke.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
