This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
After a stroke on the right side of the brain, some people develop a condition called neglect—where they lose awareness of things on one side of their body or space around them. This study is testing whether combining special prismatic lenses (glasses that shift your visual field) with a mild electrical brain stimulation technique called transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can help reduce these symptoms better than the glasses alone.
Neglect after stroke can be very disabling and make it hard for people to function in daily life. Researchers want to see if adding this type of brain stimulation to the glasses might improve recovery outcomes beyond what the glasses can do on their own.

You will receive two weeks of treatment with special prismatic glasses. Half of participants will also receive real brain stimulation (tDCS), while the other half will receive a sham (fake) version as a comparison. During your time in the study, you'll wear the glasses and receive the stimulation sessions, and researchers will test how well you can see and be aware of your surroundings before, during, and after treatment to measure improvement.
