Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1.left-handedness or ambidexterity 2.drug or alcohol abuse 3.(history of ) significant medical, psychiatric or neurological conditions 4.history of head injury with loss of consciousness 5.metal in cranium 6.epilepsy or family history of epilepsy 7.cardiac pacemaker 8.infarcations 9.implanted medical pump 10.intracardiac lines 11.history of psychiatric illness (Axis 1, DSM-IV) 12.(suspected) pregnancy 13. Claustrophobia 14.High individual resting threshold (rMT). (If a subject presents a resting state motor threshold that is higher than 69% of the intensity of the machine, then the cTBS stimulation needed for this subject would be higher than 55% of the intensitiy of the machine. In that case there are two problems. The stimulation will be unpleasant for the subject and probalby painful. On the other side it is impossible at the rate of 50Hz (TBS stimulation) to recharge the capacitors up to intensities that are higher than 55%. In this way stimulation will be slower than needed and unpleasant. Therefore we will to exclude these subjects.)
