Arms

  • Experimental: Active TMS, Sham TMS
    Participants will receive 2 sessions of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) delivered using standard intermittent theta-burst (iTBS) parameters (600 pulses, 3 min, 120% rMT). Participants will receive, on separate sessions, either active or sham iTBS delivered during pre-sleep wakefulness or NREM sleep stages while recording with Electroencephalography (EEG). Participants will perform the N-back task and Multi-source Interference Task (MSIT) during each session to measure working memory and cognitive control performance.
  • Experimental: Sham TMS, Active TMS

Primary Outcome Measure

Change in Baseline TMS-EEG after iTBS [ Time Frame: Baseline, end of iTBS (3 minutes) ]
