Summary: Striking variation in global subjective evaluation <strong>of</strong> detail indicates that what<br />

is measured is not detail, but some element <strong>of</strong> completeness. <strong>The</strong> variety <strong>of</strong> patient<br />

groups distinguished, including the patient/non-patient distinction, indicate that missing<br />

detail is a good predictor <strong>of</strong> patient status, although brain damage patients were right/left<br />

differentiable, but right scores overlapped those <strong>of</strong> controls.<br />
