Stroke patients cost the Australian economy $1.3bn pa in addition to their social burden, but effective diagnosis and rehabilitation is impeded by a lack of fundamental research into the cognitive and neural mechanisms that underlie attentional disorders. Our research will provide significant new insights into how the brain deploys attention in external and imagined space and will lead to more effective management and treatment of stroke victims. Our new test of attentional disorders is independent of a patient's inability to see or move and will enable more effective diagnosis. Our research provides the fundamental knowledge base for our discipline and is vital for developing the next generation of Australia's cognitive neuroscientists.

除了社会负担之外，中风患者每年还给澳大利亚经济造成 13 亿美元的损失，但由于缺乏对注意力障碍背后的认知和神经机制的基础研究，有效的诊断和康复受到阻碍。我们的研究将为大脑如何在外部和想象空间中部署注意力提供重要的新见解，并将导致对中风患者进行更有效的管理和治疗。我们对注意力障碍的新测试与患者是否无法看到或移动无关，并将实现更有效的诊断。我们的研究为我们的学科提供了基础知识基础，对于培养下一代澳大利亚认知神经科学家至关重要。
