In an experimental set-up participants (20 people with MS and 20 healthy controls) will perform a high-challenging cognitive protocol to provoke stress and (cognitive) fatigue.
Physiological responses (heart rate variability, skin conductance, body temperature) and brain activity (EEG) will be measured while resting (resting baseline), while speaking as normal (speaking baseline), during protocol performance and following the protocol (post-protocol).
Demographic and clinical characteristics, as well as levels of perceived fatigue, stress, pain, daily activity performance, quality of life and anxiety and depression will be assessed using medical records and questionnaires.
Feasibility and usability will be assessed in participants and researcher(s) by standardized questionnaires.
