Audition After a Lesion and in Migraine. (AuditionPostLesion)

August 27, 2025 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon

Consequences of a Brain Lesion or of Migraine on Auditory Processing: Attention, Memory and Emotion

The project studies auditory processing after brain damage (in temporal and/or frontal areas) and in migraine. The auditory processes investigated are attention, short-term memory, sound-induced emotions. To characterize auditory deficits after brain damage or in migraine, neuropsychological assessments are combined with neurophysiological markers (Electro-encephalography: EEG, Magneto-encephalography: MEG, Magnetic Resonance Imaging: MRI).

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Brain-damaged patients
Neuropsychological tests consist in listening to sounds in various contexts and providing behavioral responses with response-buttons.
Neurophysiological tests consist in the recording of EEG and/or MEG signals while realizing the neuropsychological tests, as well as MRI scanning to characterize the patients' brain lesions and reconstruct the brain sources of surface EEG/MEG signals.
Experimental: Control participants
Neuropsychological tests consist in listening to sounds in various contexts and providing behavioral responses with response-buttons.
Neurophysiological tests consist in the recording of EEG and/or MEG signals while realizing the neuropsychological tests, as well as MRI scanning to characterize the patients' brain lesions and reconstruct the brain sources of surface EEG/MEG signals.
Experimental: Migraine patients
Neuropsychological tests consist in listening to sounds in various contexts and providing behavioral responses with response-buttons.
Neurophysiological tests consist in the recording of EEG and/or MEG signals while realizing the neuropsychological tests, as well as MRI scanning to characterize the patients' brain lesions and reconstruct the brain sources of surface EEG/MEG signals.
