Summary

This study looked at how low and high frequency magnetic brain stimulation (rTMS) changes brain waves in 30 healthy adults. Participants received both 1 Hz and 20 Hz stimulation in separate sessions, and their brain activity was measured with EEG before and after. The goal was to understand the basic brain mechanisms behind rTMS, which is already used to treat depression and schizophrenia.
