Plain-Language Summary

The goal is to figure out how memory loss or a reduced ability to feel pleasure in Parkinson’s disease with dementia (and early Alzheimer’s) changes emotional reactions, reminiscence, and enjoyment of music, information that can help shape music-based support. The approach uses structured neuropsychological interviews and questionnaires to map cognitive and hedonic profiles and to measure emotional and memory responses to musical engagement, so no drugs or devices are given. The study is looking for French-speaking adults age 60 and up who live at home with a relative, have an MMSE score of 20 or higher, and a diagnosis of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease or probable Alzheimer’s disease; people with major non-degenerative neurological or psychiatric disorders, untreated hearing loss, inability to consent, or recent stroke/head trauma are excluded. The pilot plans to enroll about 120 participants.
