treatment.

- Both Parkinson's patients and their age matching control must not present a major
visual pathology (mainly in the retina) which may interfere with the visual task.

- Signed informed and free consent.

- Matching controls must not present a neurological or psychiatric troubles.

troubles.

- For Parkinson's patients: There are no contraindication on current treatments apart
from those to treat neurological troubles including anti-parkinsonian treatment, or
psychiatric troubles.

- As a precaution, the investigators will check that no MRI exam has been performed
during the week preceding our fMRI.

Exclusion Criteria:

acquisition.

- Adult under supervision

- No affiliation to a health insurance.

- Consent not signed by a participant or refusal by the participant to participate to
the experiment.
