Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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).
