Study Summary
This is a study to determine whether particular forms of brain-stimulation, applied to superior frontal cortex/preSMA can affect cognition and associated frontal theta oscillations. To perform this study, the investigators first measure brain activity and cognitive performance using "BrainE", a cognitive task platform that assesses cognition on sustained attention, response inhibition, working memory, interference processing and emotion processing assessments. Next, the investigators apply brain-stimulation over a mid-frontal region associated with these tasks (mid-line frontal activity overlying superior frontal cortex/pre-SMA area). Finally, human subjects perform the "BrainE" task assessments again immediately after the brain-stimulation. The investigators compare the effects of brain stimulation on average frontal activity evoked across the cognitive tasks, and on the cognitive performance averaged across tasks. The investigators primarily compare the effects of two types of brain-stimulation against each other: intermittent Theta-Burst Stimulation (a protocol designed to excite brain activity) and continuous Theta-Burst-Stimulation (a stimulation protocol designed to inhibit brain activity).
