Identify the Optimal TMS Pulse Protocol to Modulate Reward Activity
Recruiting
Our primary goal will be to identify the optimal pulse protocol by systematically measuring the efficacy of various theta burst stimulation and repetitive rTMS protocols to increase and decrease the reward positivity in dependent smokers. Our secondary objective will be to measure the protocols' effectiveness to increase decision-making capacity using the probabilistic selection task (PST). Our third objective will be to specifically assess whether the TMS targets has a differential impact on st... Read More
