DEVICE

TMS

rTMS Stimulation Parameters Pulse count: 1600 pulses Frequency: 20Hz Pules per train: 40 pulses Inter-train interval: 28 seconds Intensity: 100% Motor Threshold (depth-corrected from MRI) Target: Precuneus using structural MRI navigation with MNI coordinates

DEVICE

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Sham

Sham coil placed in same location and set with same parameters as active treatment coil. However, this device will not output active treatment and scalp electrodes will mimic the sensation of rTMS for the participant.
