We investigated figure segregation in the intact visual field (VF) of hemianopia patients. Three patients and matched controls performed a Yes-No figure detection task, where square or square fragments were embedded in a background of randomly oriented Gabor elements. We varied orientation and number of the fragment elements, stimulus eccentricity and background density (BD). Figure detection was impaired in all three patients in the entire intact VF, but potentially more pronounced in patients with cortical lesions. Pathological completion was most frequently observed for high BDs and for square fragments oriented towards the blind hemifield. Our findings confirm contour integration deficits in the intact VF of hemianopia patients. Further, our results indicate that (1) contour integration deficits are exacerbated by contextual interaction and (2) pathological completion appears to be more likely associated with lesions of cortical rather than geniculo-striate origin. The deficits point to increased lateral suppressive inputs from background elements.
