Summary

This study explores whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique (TMS) can temporarily improve how quickly people with psychotic disorders (like schizophrenia or bipolar) solve problems. About 95 participants will do thinking tasks and get brain scans before and after TMS. The goal is to learn how the cerebellum affects thinking speed, not to provide a treatment.
