This research study seeks healthy adult participants to explore how transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) affects the brain.TMS is a non-invasive method which uses a magnet placed outside the head to stimulate precise locations inside the brain.

This sub-study is currently enrolling eligible adults ages 18 to 35 who are free of serious medical conditions, as determined during a screening visit. Participation includes five visits for research evaluations, brain scans, EEG, and TMS. This study involves being in an MRI scanner while receiving TMS, viewing aversive images, and attempting to control one’s emotional response to those images. It will hopefully inform us about the role of TMS in aiding with emotional regulation, which could eventually be used to help treat individuals with mood disorders.

All clinical evaluations, research tasks and visits are free of cost. Participants are compensated with a maximum amount of $770 for this study. The study is conducted at the NIH in Bethesda, Maryland.
