Personalized brain stimulation for changing avoidance behavior
This study uses a personalized type of magnetic brain stimulation called theta-burst stimulation (TMS) to test if it can help change how people approach or avoid situations. Researchers want to see if the effects can last a long time.

This study uses personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) – a non-invasive brain stimulation technique – to map brain circuits involved in depression and anxiety. It aims to improve treatment by tailoring the stimulation to each person's brain activity.
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called aiTBS to understand how it changes brain activity patterns and task performance. Researchers will use MRI scans and brain stimulation to learn how this approach might help with mental health.
This study uses transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, to explore how the brain processes social motivation in people with major depressive disorder or social anxiety disorder. Understanding these brain processes could help develop new treatments for social avoidance.
This study tests if a specific type of magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) can reduce anxiety for people who haven't gotten enough relief from other treatments. You would receive daily TMS sessions over several weeks, and the team will track your anxiety symptoms closely.
This trial tests if a personalized type of brain stimulation (TMS) can help with behavioral and psychological symptoms like agitation or mood changes in Alzheimer's disease. It is double-blind, meaning neither you nor the doctor will know if you get the real stimulation or a placebo.
This study tests a personalized form of brain stimulation called iTBS for people with schizophrenia. It aims to see if it works in everyday clinical settings.
