Brief summary

Music Perception is well known to elicit emotions and neuronal activations. Changes in the cerebrovascular physiology have also been found in emotional tasks but only few studies have investigated markers of cerebrovascular physiology in a music task and no study has used the Ultrasound method of Tissue Pulsatility Imaging (TPI) in a music task. The use of TPI to measure reactivity of Brain Tissue Pulsatility Imaging (BTP) could further elucidate the cerebral basis of music perception.

score of barcelona music reward questionnary (BMQR)BaselineBMQR: Barcellona Music Reward Questionnaire for the evaluation of musical anhedonia; * Only the total score of musical reward will be reported; for total score, minimum value is 20, maximum value is 100. Values under 40 represent low values in the overall score; values above 60 indicate high values in the overall score; * High global score (\>60) represents a better outcome; low global score (\<40) represents a worse outcome, notably an impairment in music reward processing; * The overall score is computed by adding raw scores of the items (except for items 2 and 5, which need to be reversed).
