Study Details
Study Description
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.

Detailed Description
This monocentric physiological study will evaluate the neural bases of visual recognition of emotions in stroke patients vs healthy controls (2 groups of 40 subjects). It will include functional MRI, structural MRI (disconnectome), EEG, and behavioral assessments of emotion recognition and executive functions.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- BOLD signal when fear visual recognition [1 day]
Compare correlations of cerebral functional activations (BOLD) by fMRI between groups when stimulus = fear
Secondary Outcome Measures
- BOLD signal when happiness visual recognition [1 day]
Compare correlations of cerebral functional activations (BOLD) by fMRI between groups when stimulus = happiness
- Electrical connectivity (EEG) when fear visual recognition [1 day]
Compare cerebral networks activated by a fear visual task recognition in both groups
- Electrical connectivity (EEG) when fear happiness visual recognition [1 day]
Compare cerebral networks activated by a happiness visual task recognition in both groups
- Electrical connectivity (EEG) when emotions auditory recognition [1 day]
Compare cerebral networks activated by an auditory task recognition in both groups
- Relationship between behavioral performance and cerebral networks [1 day]
Correlations between fMRI and EEG networks vs. behavioral performance (emotion recognition)
- Structural connectivity [1 day]
Disconnectome maps in the stroke patients group
- Relationship between emotional self-assessment and cerebral networks [1 day]
Correlation between the ESQ (emotional state questionnaire) and cerebral connectivity (EEG) and fMRI networks
- Relationship between the behavioural performance in emotion recognition and executive functions [1 day]
Correlation between behavioral performance in emotion recognition (Eckman Test) and executive functions (Stroop Test) in the stroke group
- Relationship between lesion characteristics and the behavioral performance in emotion recognition [1 day]
Correlation between lesion volume and the behavioural performance in emotion recognition (Eckman Test)
