Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The main study parameters are the changes in blood-oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal induced by transcranial brain stimulation. We will measure the BOLD signal at rest and during the performance on two different tasks tapping executive functions using fMRI.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
In addition, we will measure cerebral blood flow (CBF) using the arterial spin labeling technique, and we will record MR spectroscopy data from the dorsal striatum.
