Scientists zap brains to see if it changes how we learn from rewards

NCT ID NCT06323057

Summary

This study aims to understand if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique (TMS) can change how people process rewards and learn from them during simple computer games. Researchers will measure brain waves in healthy adults while they perform decision-making tasks, with some receiving real stimulation and others receiving a sham (fake) version. The goal is to see if stimulating the brain at specific moments can make people more or less sensitive to rewards, which could inform future treatments for conditions involving motivation or learning.
