Brain Stimulation Effects on Cerebellum Coordination
This study uses repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS)—a non-invasive technique that sends magnetic pulses to specific areas of the brain—to examine how it affects coordination and brain function. Researchers want to understand if stimulating two different regions of the cerebellum (the part of your brain that controls balance and coordination) produces different effects.

- Be between 18 and 60 years old
- Have health insurance (required by French law)
- Not have a history of seizures, epilepsy, or major neurological conditions
- Not currently take psychiatric medications like antipsychotics or benzodiazepines
- Not have metal implants, pacemakers, or other devices that could interfere with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or brain stimulation
- Have good vision (corrected to at least 0.8 on a standard vision test) since the study uses visual materials

This study uses brain scans to learn how different parts of the brain connect and communicate in healthy people. If you join, you will help researchers better understand normal brain function.
This study uses a non-invasive brain stimulation method called TMS and brain imaging to understand how the cerebellum affects time prediction. It is for healthy adults and helps researchers learn how brain timing systems work.
This trial tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain involved in coordination and learning) can improve “cognitive control,” or the ability to focus and manage thoughts. You may be able to join if you have a diagnosis they are specifically enrolling for and you can safely complete the stimulation and study procedures.
This trial tests if a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can help children with cerebellar ataxia (a condition that affects balance and coordination). If it works, it might improve their motor skills and daily functioning.
This pilot study tests whether stimulating the cerebellum (a part of the brain) using TMS can improve brain function and thinking in people with schizophrenia. If you qualify, you may receive TMS and undergo brain/cognitive assessments to see whether it helps.
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.
