- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To investigate whether the application of dual-site transcranial alternating<br /><br>current stimulation during cognitive training improves spatial neglect symptoms<br /><br>to a larger extent than the application of sham stimulation during cognitive<br /><br>training. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>To investigate whether the application of dual-site transcranial alternating<br /><br>current stimulation during cognitive training ameliorates neglect behaviour in<br /><br>activities of daily living (ADL) to a larger extent than the application of<br /><br>sham stimulation during cognitive training. </p><br>
