This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
Researchers want to understand how ALS affects the brain's ability to recognize emotions in faces and voices, and to understand social situations. About half of people with ALS experience some cognitive changes, and this study aims to learn more about how social awareness is affected and how it changes over time.
While doctors know that ALS can affect thinking and social awareness, there is very limited research on exactly how and why this happens. Understanding these changes better could help doctors and caregivers support patients more effectively.

You would visit the research center and complete several tests that measure how well you recognize emotions in faces and voices, and how you understand social situations. These are paper-and-pencil or computer-based tests similar to what you might encounter in a doctor's office. The visit should take a few hours, and if you have ALS, you should bring a family member or caregiver with you.
