Re: auditory hemi-neglect
It was in commisurotomized subjects, rather than in those with auditory
hemi-neglect, but we found results similar to Deouell, Deutsch, Scabini,
Soroker and Knight, using another dichotic pitch effect.

The study used the scale illusion:

demonstrate in two patients with auditory neglect that the source of
their neglect was high-level rather than based on ear of input. I'd be
happy to send a PDF to anyone who's interested.

Hello Everyone:
This is a followup to Peter Lennox's post of this morning, which
prompted the question of whether there is significant evidence for
auditory hemi-neglect. There are some older case studies which
describe what might be an auditory analog of visual hemi-neglect. See,
for example, KM Heilman & E Valenstein (1972, Auditory neglect in
man. Arch Neurol., 26: 32-35). Apparently, work on the topic is
ongoing. See L Spierer et al. (2007, Extinction of auditory stimuli
in hemineglect: Space versus ear. Neuropsychologia, 45: 540-551). I
hope that this helps. Kind wishes,
Dennis
