TMS and reward learning in healthy adults
Part of Brain & nervous system, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a painless magnetic stimulation technique called TMS to see how it affects the way the brain learns from rewards. It's for healthy adults who want to help scientists understand basic brain function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 55 years old.
- You should be in stable overall health (no serious medical or mental health conditions).
- You cannot have any metal or electronic devices in your head (like a pacemaker or surgical clips).
- You must never have had a seizure, brain surgery, or a head injury that caused a long unconsciousness.
- You cannot have autoimmune, hormone, viral, or blood vessel problems that affect the brain.
- You must not have a lifetime history of bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, PTSD, dementia, or major depression.

This study tests different pulse patterns of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a noninvasive brain stimulation, to see which one best increases activity in brain reward circuits. It may help people who are dependent on nicotine.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called TMS while monitoring your brain activity through electrodes you already have implanted for your treatment. Researchers want to learn how brain stimulation affects brain recordings in people being treated for neurological or psychiatric conditions.
This study tests whether noninvasive brain stimulation can improve how people plan and navigate toward a goal. It also uses brain scans and questionnaires to see who may benefit and whether the stimulation is safe for you.
This study uses a safe form of brain stimulation (TMS) combined with brain imaging to see how the brain's prefrontal area responds differently in healthy people. It may help researchers understand brain function better.
This study tests if a type of brain stimulation called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve how well you learn a hand movement task. You will practice a motor task while receiving brief magnetic pulses to your scalp.
This research study uses magnetic pulses on your scalp to stimulate a specific brain area and measure how your brain responds. The goal is to understand how different parts of your brain work together and communicate during this type of brain stimulation.
