Vulnerability Markers for Depression

TBS comprises 3-pulse 50-Hz bursts, applied every 200 ms (at 5 Hz). iTBS consists of 2-second trains with an inter-train interval of 8 seconds. The investigators will repeat the trains (30 pulses; 10 bursts) 20 times to reach a total number of 600 pulses (3x10x20). Concurrent iTBS/fNIRS stimulation will be applied over the left DLPFC at an intensity of 90% resting motor threshold (RMT). This corresponds to \~110% of the active motor threshold. Stimulation at 90% RMT will also ensure compliance, reduce sensory discomfort and minimize dropout rates. Still, scalp discomfort will be recorded directly after the stimulation. The stimulation site over the DLPFC will be determined using the international 10-20 system and correspond to the F3 label.
