DEVICE

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS)

"Each subject will receive up to 1800 pulses of up to 20Hz per day to all simulated brain regions together. Treated brain areas will be alternated each day (only 3 a day).~Sham participants will receive the same study procedures as patients receiving active rTMS."

BEHAVIORAL

NICE Cognitive Training

"12 levels of difficulty in tasks designed to relate to the region of the brain being stimulated (left and right parietal cortex, left and right DLPFC, left superior temporal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus).~A particular cognitive exercise will start 200msec after the termination of each TMS train.~Sham participants receive sham cognitive training that follows the same procedures as the active group."
