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 tests a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat depression and anxiety that haven't improved with medication. The treatment is personalized based on your brain scans, which may make it more effective.
This study uses a special brain stimulation method called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) that is personalized to your brain activity, to help people whose anxiety has not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this faster, tailored approach can reduce anxiety symptoms.
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 a new way to use magnetic brain stimulation (TMS) to treat anxiety that hasn't improved with other treatments. It aims to see if targeting specific brain connections can reduce anxiety symptoms.
This research study uses a type of brain stimulation called aiTBS to see if it can change brain activity and improve performance on thinking tasks. It may help us understand how the brain works and could lead to new treatments for brain disorders.
This study is testing whether measuring your brain's electrical activity (EEG) during MRI can help personalize a type of brain stimulation treatment called TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) for people with hard-to-treat depression. The goal is to find early markers that predict who will respond to this treatment, so it can be tailored to each person for better results.
