Study Summary

The proposed study will evaluate the safety, durability and efficacy of repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) as a promising non-invasive therapeutic treatment for improving memory in older adults with mild or moderate Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) who have been experiencing residual memory or cognitive problems that affect daily functioning.

Primary Outcome

Test for visual memory and new learning: it is a hippocampal-mediated paired associates learning task. This test has twenty-one outcome measures, covering the errors made by the participant, the number of trials required to locate the pattern(s) correctly, memory scores and stages completed (Administration time 10 minutes). The main score provided is the sum of pairs reproduced over three trials (range: 0-30). We will use the average number of trials needed to succeed on PAL task as the main out
