NCT05922748
The objective of this exploratory study is to elucidate the underlying cerebral mechanisms of cognitive deficits. To achieve this, the investigator will apply functional brain imaging techniques to patients suffering from cognitive deficits due to cerebral lesions. The investigator will employ a "single-case" approach, suitable for studying rare behavioral profiles such as acquired reading disorders (alexia) or visual perception impairments (agnosia). If necessary, the investigator will use multiple non-invasive imaging methods in the same patients, including: 1. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (structural and functional), renowned for its spatial resolution and the diverse information it provides, and 2. Electrophysiological methods (MEG and EEG), notable for their temporal resolution. The employed stimuli will consist of visual or auditory presentations of verbal material (words, sentences, numbers, etc.), potentially combined with the collection of simple vocal or motor responses (button presses). The results will be interpreted by integrating the neuropsychological analysis of the deficit and the lesion topography. Importantly, following the methodology of single-case neuropsychology, the stimulation protocols will be modulated and adapted to each individual case. Consequently, parallel data should be collected from healthy control subjects whenever necessary. For protocol development, the investigator will also collect purely behavioral data, without brain imaging, from groups of control subjects.
NCT03731104
The principal purpose of this study is to describe the changes in cerebral circulation (assessed by transcranial ultrasound) and oxygenation (assessed by Near InfraRed spectroscopy, NIRS) during resuscitation for hemodynamic failure (arterial hypotension or shock) in critically ill children treated with vasoactive or inotropic drugs. The secondary objectives are : i) to evaluate the association between an alteration of cerebral circulation and/or oxygenation and an alteration in macro-circulatory parameters (Mean Arterial Blood Pressure and cardiac output) or a bad outcome, ii) to study if cerebral autoregulation is impaired
NCT04639401
This study is a case-control observational study, involving persons with multiple sclerosis and healthy controls. The study contains 1 descriptive and 4 experimental sessions. In the descriptive session, participant's clinical motor and cognitive functions are collected. In the first experimental session, participant's beat perception and synchronisation abilities is examined within a finger tapping paradigm. In the following experimental sessions participants synchronsiation abilities is examined during walking paradigms, to music and metronomes, at different tempi and alignment strategies. In the latter three sessions, apart from outcome measures of synchronization the following will be collected as well: spatio-temporal gait parameters, perceived fatigue, perceived motivation and perceived speed of walking.
