Interventions
DEVICE

Active iTBS of the DLPFC

Participants will receive a 3 minutes intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation of the DLPCF of the left hemisphere while not performing any other task

DEVICE

Active iTBS of the vmPFC

Participants will receive a 3 minutes active intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation of the vmPFC while not performing any other task

DEVICE

iTBS of the vertex (sham)

Participants will receive a 3 minutes active intermittent Theta Burst Stimulation of the vertex while not performing any other task

BEHAVIORAL

Computerized inhibitory control training

"Participants will perform the task of the FoodT app for 10 minutes immediately after iTBS (taking advantage of time of maximum brain potentiation, Rossi et al., 2009).~This task pairs high-calorie meals with the no-go cue. Images appear on the left, right or center of the smartphone screen and they must touch it or not (depending on the cue) with their index finger as quickly as possible. Participants earn points for correct tap responses and lose points for incorrect tap responses: If the image has a green border around it, you must tap the image and win 1 point. But if the image has a red border around it, you must inhibit the tapping response or you will lose 1 point. Participants must respond as quickly and accurately as possible and improve reaction time.~Pictures of healthy and unhealthy foods are always paired with the Go and the No-Go signal, respectively. Non-food images are paired 50% of the time with the Go and the No-Go signal"
