This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This research explores how Parkinson's disease changes the way your brain recognizes emotions in faces and understands body movements—abilities that help us connect with others socially. The study uses functional MRI brain imaging while you watch videos of people interacting, to understand which brain regions are affected and how dopaminergic medications influence these processes.
People with Parkinson's often experience difficulty recognizing emotions and understanding social cues, even early in the disease, and this can strain relationships and reduce quality of life. Researchers don't yet fully understand which brain systems are responsible for these changes, so this study aims to map those mechanisms.

The study has two stages. In Stage 1, you would complete a behavioral task where you watch and interpret videos of people in social situations—no brain imaging required. In Stage 2, you would undergo the same task inside a functional MRI scanner, which takes images of your brain activity while you watch these videos. The imaging session involves lying still in the scanner for about 30–60 minutes while watching the videos on a screen inside.
