New therapy helps to improve audio and visual perception in stroke patients

(Saarland University) Stroke is one of the most common neurological disorders worldwide. Many stroke survivors are left with serious health problems. Some patients, for example, find themselves unable to perceive one side of their body and can have problems seeing, hearing and feeling on that side. A team of neuropsychologists at Saarland University, led by Professor Georg Kerkhoff, has developed a new technique that is helping to restore patients' perception of sounds and images.
