Interventions

TMS will be applied to the early visual cortex while participants recall previously learnt associations. We expect TMS to impair associative recall, providing causal evidence for the necessity of co

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Memory performance on the orientation matching task will be addressed as a function of stimulation condition: we expect that TMS to the hemisphere contralateral to the location of the retrieved stimulus impairs memory performance (as measured by adjustment error in degrees) compared to no contralateral TMS, while performance between no TMS and TMS ipsilateral to recall site does not differ.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Not applicable.
