State Dependence of Prefrontal Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Description

The study will examine whether the benefits of brain stimulation on mental functioning can be enhanced if an individual is actively engaging the target brain networks while receiving brain stimulation. The study includes two separate sessions and people will complete either a cognitive task or a perceptual task while receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation. The study will measure change in brain function with EEG.
