true left high frequency
10 Hz stimulation will be given at 110% motor threshold for 8 seconds to Brodmann areas 46, 9 and 10 in the left hemisphere. The coil will be held flat over the skull surface with the coil handle held at approximately 45 degrees to the floor
Passive sham left high frequency
10 Hz stimulation will be given at 110% motor threshold for 8 seconds to Brodmann areas 46, 9 and 10 in the left hemisphere. The passive (inactive) coil will be held flat over the skull surface with the coil handle held at approximately 45 degrees to the floor. An active coil will be held vertically in a mechanical holder 50 cm behind the subject head and run at 10 Hz with an intensity set to 150% of motor threshold.
