Study Summary

This trial will study the effects of rTMS on the premotor cortex to see if it can improve motor skills and associated neural plasticity.

Timeline

Screening ~ 3 weeks
Treatment ~ Varies
Follow Up ~baseline and post-motor training (1 minute after completion of motor training)
This trial's timeline: 3 weeks for screening, Varies for treatment, and baseline and post-motor training (1 minute after completion of motor training) for reporting.

Change in wrist force

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Single motor training onlyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
For a pilot experiment, healthy, right-handed subjects will complete one testing session. During the testing session, subjects will complete motor training. The results of this experiment will determine the motor training protocol used in the main experiment.
Group II: Repetitive TMS during motor trainingExperimental Treatment6 Interventions
Healthy, right-handed subjects will complete five testing sessions. During each testing session, subjects will complete motor training while receiving one of five repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols. Subjects will receive a different rTMS protocol at each testing session. By the end of the study, each subject will have received all rTMS protocols.
