The patient should be able to attend to and identify a tactile stimulus that is applied to both sides of the body at the same time. Double simultaneous stimulation (DSS) is tested by touching homologous parts of the body on one side, the other side or both sides at once with the patient identifying which side or if both sides are touched with their eyes closed. If the patient neglects one side on DSS (extinction or simultanagnosia) this indicates dysfunction of the contralateral posterior parietal lobe.
