Study Overview

Brief Summary

The purpose is to evaluate neuropsychological effects of anterior temporal epilepsy in face perception by comparison of performances of epileptic patients and control individuals, sex-, age- and socio-educational level-matched.

Secondary purposes are to prospectively evaluate neuropsychological impact of anterior temporal lobectomy performed for surgical treatment of anterior temporal epilepsy on face perception (exploratory study).
