About this study
In plain language
This study looks at how different types of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) change brain activity in adult military Veterans. TMS uses magnets to stimulate the brain. The goal is to help develop brain stimulation tailored to each person.
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the relationship between the type of brain stimulation used and how it changes brain activity in adult military Veterans. The goal is to use this understanding to develop new, personalized brain stimulation. The investigators evaluate brain changes from different types of transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS).
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
