DEVICE

MAGSTIM Rapid2 TMS system

The device will administer TMS pulses in bursts at fixed intervals for a total of 600 pulses over 190 seconds after first assessing the participants motor threshold (MT). During the sham stimulation condition, the TMS coil will be tilted 90° tangential to the scalp during the administration so that the orientation is not biologically active and will not elicit a muscle contraction. This sham condition will look and sound just like real TMS.
