Study Summary
Cigarette smoking remains a significant public health concern. A magnetic field applied to the outside of the skull can produce electrical activity in the brain without significant pain or the need for anesthesia. Sessions of magnetic stimulation or superficial stimulation that does not reach the brain will be used to determine if magnetic stimulation can reduce cue-induced craving and cigarettes consumption in adult nicotine-dependent cigarette smokers. This project may lead to a new therapy for smoking cessation.
