No, I don’t mean like Superfly.
Pusher Syndrome is when, as a result of injury to the brain, one’s visual perception of reality gets tilted.
Apparently it’s not uncommon. Has anyone been through this? Did you get better? Were there any particular things that helped? Were you aware of the extent of the problem?
Thanks.
That is not what your link says it is at all. In fact it explicitly says the opposite
.
Rather
They are misperceiving their own bodily posture, not the outside world. Presumably this is because their kinaesthetic sense is affected. (Although that is not made very explicit in the abstract. I can’t be bothered to read the full article to, maybe, find out if I am making the correct interpretation there. What is perfectly clear, though, is that their visual perception is not “tilted”, and, indeed, this syndrome is not a visual problem at all.)
Well, you’re right. I described it incorrectly. It’s body posture that becomes tilted. All the same, I would like to hear from anyone who’s been there.
I think I read something by Oliver Sacks on someone with similar symptoms (may have been exact symptoms). His “solution” was to have the guy wear a hat with a horizontal bar suspended by a string. When the string and the bar were at a right angle - the person could know he was at a correct orientation.
ETA - on second thought - not sure if I am remembering it correctly - the was something with a hat and something that acted like a level.
Thanks,** DataX.**
Hmm, don’t s’pose that would work on a cat …-?
