Summary:This article presents prismatic adaptation, an experimental method used in rehabilitation of unilateral neglect and some potential directions of future research.

No previous research explicitly indicate that prismatic adaptation can eliminate symptoms of unilateral neglect in relation to object likewise in relation to observer. Further research is also necessary to indicate if prismatic adaptation can eliminate other, non-spatial symptoms of neglect.
