Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br>Assessment of difference in cerebral activity during movement to music, to rhythm and in silence in people with Parkinson's Disease. These differences in cerebral activity result in changes to the fMRI-signal which can be measured.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
<br><br>The differences in cerebral activity to rhythm, music and in silence correlate with the patient's movement to rhythm, music and in silence, respectively.<br>The amplitude and frequency of the movement (i.e. the opening and closing of the fist) is measured via a pressure sensor which the patient/ healthy control holds in their hand throughout the entire procedure.
