Brief Summary

This monocentric physiological study will evaluate the neural bases of visual recognition of emotions in stroke patients vs. healthy controls using MRI (functional and structural connectivity) and EEG.

Conditions

Stroke; Stroke Sequelae; Emotions

Keywords

stroke; emotions; neural bases

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• BOLD signal when fear visual recognition

  Compare correlations of cerebral functional activations (BOLD) by fMRI between groups when stimulus = fear

  1 day

Secondary Outcomes (9)

• BOLD signal when happiness visual recognition

  1 day

• Electrical connectivity (EEG) when fear visual recognition

  1 day

• Electrical connectivity (EEG) when fear happiness visual recognition

  1 day

• Electrical connectivity (EEG) when emotions auditory recognition

  1 day

• Relationship between behavioral performance and cerebral networks

  1 day
