Participant milestones
Measure
rTMS Over a Node Within the Fronto-parietal Network
excitatory 5Hz rTMS will be applied over a node within the fronto-parietal network, defined via network analysis. rTMS: excitatory 5Hz rTMS will be used
Sham rTMS Over a Node Within the Fronto-parietal Network
electrical sham coil applied over a node within the fronto-parietal network. Sham rTMS: an electrical sham coil reproducing the same clicking sound and tactile sensation than the active rTMS will be used
rTMS Over the DLPFC
excitatory 5Hz rTMS will be applied over the dorso-lateral prefrontal cortex showing the strongest fMRI activation. rTMS: excitatory 5Hz rTMS will be used
Sham rTMS Over the DLPFC
electrical sham coil applied over the DLPFC. Sham rTMS: an electrical sham coil reproducing the same clicking sound and tactile sensation than the active rTMS will be used

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Through study completion, an average of one year

Population: The study had to be interrupted because of Covid-19 situation, while we were still piloting the behavioral task. Therefore no data with rTMS were collected.

Accuracy (in percentage) will be assessed to evaluate the acute effect of rTMS.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Through study completion an average of one year

Population: The study had be be terminated early due to the Covid-19 situation, while we were still piloting the behavioral task. Therefore no participants received rTMS

Reaction times (in ms) will be assessed to evaluate the acute effect of rTMS
