Investigation of Sensory Synchronized Human Brain Imaging and Neuromodulation
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the relationship between the type of brain stimulation used and how it changes brain activity in adult military Veterans. The goal is to use this understanding to develop new, personalized brain stimulation. The investigators evaluate brain changes from different types of transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS).
Inclusion: Men and women; English speaking; Military Veterans.
Exclusion: History of head trauma with loss of consciousness; History of seizures or on medications that substantially reduce seizure threshold; Neurological or uncontrolled medical disease; Those with a contraindication for magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs), e.g. implanted metal; Active substance abuse; Currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
