Brain Areas of Time-To-Contact Perception: an Awake Surgery Study
Conditions: Brain Tumors
Sex: All
Ages: 18 Years – 70 Years
Healthy volunteers: Yes
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 120
Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse
Location: University Hospital Toulouse
Summary
During a brain surgery targeted to remove a brain tumor, the neurosurgeon wakes up the patient to delimit the tumor area exactly, and identify the surrounding areas, to limit the surgery damages. The present project aims at testing the patient in this awake phase to determine the brain areas implied in time to contact (TTC) perception, a function that allows determining the arrival time of moving objects and used in many tasks of our daily life.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
For the patients:
* Brain tumor that does not affect the dominant hand motricity. The patient that have a tumor in an area targeted for a cortical stimulation will be automatically enrolled within the Pre-End group.
* Who will agree with all terms and sign the experimental agreement
* Correct or corrected vision, as allowed by the surgery constraints
* With no known oculomotor abnormalities (list of exclusion in Annexe)
* Affiliated to a social security system
For the control group:
* Who will agree with all terms and sign the experimental agreement
* Correct or corrected vision
* With no known oculomotor abnormalities.
* Affiliated to a social security system
Exclusion Criteria:
For the patients:
* Brain tumor located in the occipital area
* Legally protected patient, or with unknown ability to sign the experimental agreement, as determined by the medical team.
* Medical background of neurological diseases of the central nervous system, as Parkinson, Alzheimer, stroke
* Pregnancy
For the control group:
* Legally protected patient, or with unknown ability to sign the experimental agreement, as determined by the medical team.
* Medical background of neurological diseases of the central nervous system, as Parkinson, Alzheimer, stroke
