This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This is a basic science study — not testing a new drug or treatment. Instead, researchers want to understand how your brain's attention system works together with your brain's ability to control impulses and ignore distractions. They're recruiting 120 people, including some with specific conditions (like stroke recovery, visual-spatial neglect, or ADHD) and healthy volunteers, to complete behavioral tests while scientists learn how these brain systems interact.
Currently, scientists don't fully understand how attention and impulse control work together in the brain, or which brain structures are involved. By studying this, they hope to eventually improve how doctors diagnose and help people with attention and behavioral control problems.

You would visit the research center to complete behavioral tests and tasks designed to measure how well your brain controls attention and impulses. The exact number of visits and tests depends on which group you're in, but all participants complete computerized or hands-on tasks while researchers observe or measure your responses. This is observational research — you're not taking medication, just helping scientists understand how your brain works.
