About this study

The investigators try to measure the amount of goal-directed behaviour and to detect the pattern of apathy. The main objective of this pilot phase is to select the variables of goal-directed behaviour from the list of metrics providing by the multimodal acquisition system in healthy subjects and patients with frontotemporal dementia.
