Interventions
OTHER

DLPFC facilitatory

15 Hz stimulation of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)(15 sessions/3weeks, 1500 stimuli per session, stimulation intensity 100% of the individual active motor threshold; in total 22500 stimuli

OTHER

SMA inhibitory

1 Hz stimulation of preSMA/SMA (15 sessions/3weeks, 1500 stimuli per session, stimulation intensity 100% of the individual active motor threshold; in total 22500 stimuli

OTHER

SMA facilitatory

Three pulses of stimulation at 50 Hz of preSMA/SMA, repeated every 200 ms. 2 s trains are repeated every 10 s for a total of 190 s (600 pulses, 200 seconds). intensity 80% of individual active motor threshold; in total 9000 stimuli

OTHER

sham TMS

Determination of active motor threshold and subsequent stimulation with the placebo coil, with the same sounds but without effects. 15 sessions in three weeks, duration of 20 mins per session
