Summary
This study looks at how low field magnetic stimulation changes brain activity in older adults (age 60+) with bipolar depression. Forty participants receive both real and sham (fake) stimulation on separate days, with brain scans taken before and after each session. The goal is to understand the brain's response to this treatment, not to test its effectiveness as a therapy.
