Weight and see: Line bisection in neglect reliably measures the allocation of attention, but not the perception of length (2017)
Journal Article
McIntosh, R. D., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. D. (2017). Weight and see: Line bisection in neglect reliably measures the allocation of attention, but not the perception of length. Neuropsychologia, 106, 146-158. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.09.014

Line bisection has long been a routine test for unilateral neglect, along with a range of tests requiring cancellation, copying or drawing. However, several studies have reported that line bisection, as classically administered, correlates relatively...

How do the two visual streams interact with each other? (2017)
Journal Article
Milner, A. (2017). How do the two visual streams interact with each other?. Experimental Brain Research, 235(5), 1297-1308. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-017-4917-4

The current consensus divides primate cortical visual processing into two broad networks or “streams” composed of highly interconnected areas (Milner and Goodale 2006, 2008; Goodale 2014). The ventral stream, passing from primary visual cortex (V1) t... Read More about How do the two visual streams interact with each other?.

Stereoscopic vision in the absence of the lateral occipital cortex (2010)
Journal Article
Read, J., Phillipson, G., Serrano-Pedraza, I., Milner, A., & Parker, A. (2010). Stereoscopic vision in the absence of the lateral occipital cortex. PLoS ONE, 5(9), Article e12608. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0012608

Both dorsal and ventral cortical visual streams contain neurons sensitive to binocular disparities, but the two streams may underlie different aspects of stereoscopic vision. Here we investigate stereopsis in the neurological patient D.F., whose vent... Read More about Stereoscopic vision in the absence of the lateral occipital cortex.

The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation (2009)
Journal Article
Schindler, I., McIntosh, R., Cassidy, T., Birchall, D., Benson, V., Ietswaart, M., & Milner, A. (2009). The disengage deficit in hemispatial neglect is restricted to between-object shifts and is abolished by prism adaptation. Experimental Brain Research, 192(3), 499-510. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-008-1585-4

We sought to determine the effects of prism adaptation on peripherally cued visual attention shifting in patients with spatial neglect, using a task devised by Egly et al. (J Exp Psychol Gen 123:161–177, 1994) based on the classic Posner paradigm. Th...

Delay abolishes the obstacle avoidance deficit in unilateral optic ataxia (2008)
Journal Article
Rice, N., Edwards, M., Schindler, I., Punt, T., McIntosh, R., Humphreys, G., …Milner, A. (2008). Delay abolishes the obstacle avoidance deficit in unilateral optic ataxia. Neuropsychologia, 46(5), 1549-1557. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2008.01.012

Optic ataxic patients have deficits in the visual control of manual reaching and grasping. It has been established previously that these deficits in target-directed behaviour improve following a delay in response. Recently it has been demonstrated th...
