About this trial

This study investigates the modification of connectivity patterns in response to one session of active repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) applied to the primary motor cortex. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) will be applied to elicit electroencephalography (EEG) responses in healthy volunteers. TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) will be recorded before and after the rTMS session and will serve as a reflection of cortical connectivity to TMS. Four cortical targets will be stimulated for TMS-EEG assessment: left primary motor cortex, right primary motor cortex, left premotor cortex, and right occipital cortex.
