Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate the motor and visual cortex excitability in response to visual stimulation of migraineurs with and without aura compared to healthy individuals. For this purpose, electrical cortical activity of migraineurs will be compared to healthy volunteers.

Conditions

  • Migraine Disorders

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Visual Stimulation

volunteers will be invited to sit in a comfortable chair, in a calm and dark room, at 90 cm of distance from computer screen. It will be asked to fix his right eye visual field on a red point at the center of the screen (the left one will be blindfolded).
