Abstract

Effective interaction with the world requires the brain to signal behaviourally relevant events and organise an appropriate and timely motor response to such events. Unilateral brain lesion typically results in a reduction and slowing of motor behaviour directed to contralesional space. Accumulator models of choice and reaction time can distinguish between two possible functional causes of this deficit: slowed extraction of evidence in favour of a motor response or an increase in the required amount of evidence for response generation. Three patients with unilateral damage to the right hemisphere were tested on a visually guided saccade task.
