Summary
This study looked at how the timing of brain waves in the prefrontal cortex affects whether people tend to approach or avoid things. Researchers used a technique called TMS-EEG to stimulate the brain at specific moments during theta waves in 26 healthy adults. The goal was to understand the brain's role in these behaviors, not to treat any condition.
