First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This study looks at how a brain stimulation technique called TMS can change the way we process space and rewards while navigating in a virtual environment. Researchers will measure brain waves in 60 healthy adults to see if TMS can boost or reduce activity in a brain area linked to spatial memory. The goal is to better understand how the brain guides us toward goals, not to treat any disease.
