Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS can alter brain waves related to reward processing. About 28 healthy adults aged 18-55 will perform decision-making tasks while their brain activity is measured. The goal is to understand how TMS might influence learning from rewards, which could inform future treatments for conditions like addiction or depression.
