Summary
Reality-monitoring characterizes the ability to determine whether information was perceived in the environment or only imagined . Impaired reality-monitoring abilities have been associated with hallucinations in patients with schizophrenia and patients with Parkinson's disease. The investigators hypothesize a link between dopaminergic (DA) transmission and reality-monitoring.

Précurseur de la dopamine
In the first condition, volunteers will receive a 100mg dose of L-dopa, 25mg dose of Aromatic amino acid decarboxylase inhibitors (Benserazide) and 10mg dose of Domperidone. In the second condition, volunteers will receive Sulpiride 800mg. In the third condition, volunteers will receive placebo Reality-monitoring performances will be evaluated with a standardized task. Working-memory will be evaluated with the n-back task. Self-monitoring performances will be observed during a speech production experiment in which speakers monitor their auditory feedback while speaking. Speech Bayesian reasoning: This task is a home-made task investigating the influence of prior on speech processing. Subjects will be required to identify speech in ambiguous auditory stimuli. Visual Bayesian reasoning: This task investigates the influence of prior on visual processing. Subjects will be required to recognize morph between faces and house.
