Study Summary

This trial will look at whether brain stimulation and cognitive tasks can help improve mental functioning. Participants will do tasks while receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation and brain activity will be measured.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for healthy individuals aged between 18 and 65. Participants should not be pregnant, have metal in their head (except dental fillings), diagnosed psychiatric disorders, epilepsy or history of seizures, recent concussions, adverse reactions to TMS/MRI, neurological conditions like stroke or tinnitus, or implanted medical devices.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if engaging in cognitive or perceptual tasks while receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can enhance mental function. It involves two sessions where brain function changes are measured with EEG during the application of TMS.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While side effects are rare for TMS when used on healthy subjects, they may include discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness, and a very low risk of seizure.
