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 music affects people with Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease—specifically whether listening to music can improve mood, memory, and emotional well-being. This is an observational study, meaning researchers will watch and measure your responses rather than giving you a new medication. The goal is to learn whether music therapy could be a helpful, non-medication tool for people living with these conditions.
While doctors know that music can help some people with memory and mood problems, no one has clearly studied how this works differently in Alzheimer's disease versus Parkinson's disease. This study exists to fill that gap and see if music could become a reliable, helpful treatment option.

You would visit the research center in Montpellier to complete cognitive tests and listen to music while researchers measure your emotional and memory responses. The study involves two groups of people with brain disease (Alzheimer's and Parkinson's) plus a healthy comparison group. Visits will include questionnaires, memory assessments, and observation of how you respond to musical experiences—no medications are given as part of this study.
