Study Summary

This trial is testing whether premotor cortex (PMC) is necessary to learn a new motor skill. Participants will have their brains scanned and then receive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to either the PMC or primary motor cortex (M1). A third group will receive a placebo stimulation. The primary outcome measure will be the change in skill after training in each group.
