DEVICE

iTBS of the left DLPFC

Participants will receive a 3 minutes active theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (iTBS) of the DLPFC of the left hemisphere while not performing any other task

DEVICE

iTBS of the vertex

Participants will receive a 3 minutes active theta burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (iTBS) of the vertex while not performing any other task

BEHAVIORAL

Inhibitory control training

Computerized cognitive training. Participants will perform the task of the FoodT app for 10 minutes during two weeks (taking advantage of time of maximum brain potentiation after the iTBS, Rossi et al., 2009). Images of food and non-food appear on the left, right or centre of the smart phone screen and participants 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, participants must tap the image and win 1 point. But if the image has a red border around it, participants must inhibit the tapping response, otherwise 1 point will be lost. Participants must respond as quickly and accurately as possible. 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
