On the topic of Spatial Neglect (SN) post-stroke, this thesis offers a novel approach to the assessment of the condition, investigates the efficacy of a smooth pursuit eye movement therapy delivered via immersive Virtual Reality for the first time as a treatment, and finally, explores behavioural measures as a predictor for response to therapy. In Experimental Chapter I of this thesis, I explore a unique method for the statistical analysis of gaze duration data by applying Statistical Parametric Mapping software, which allowed for a mass univariate approach to spatially extended gaze duration data. This data was collected from a 2D free visual exploration task developed for use within a Virtual Reality headset, across a visual space measuring 32⁰ either side of central fixation and 24⁰ above and below the horizontal meridian. Baseline gaze duration data from patients with SN post-stroke (
