Investigation of Sensory Synchronized Human Brain Imaging and Neuromodulation
VA Office of Research and Development
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to better understand the relationship between the type of brain stimulation used and how it changes brain activity in adult military Veterans. The goal is to use this understanding to develop new, personalized brain stimulation. The investigators evaluate brain changes from different types of transcranial magnetic brain stimulation (TMS).
