Cognitive Performance |
| Purpose: |
|
Functional neuroimaging studies have shown that the cerebellum is active during cognitive
performance. The investigators hypothesize that stimulation of the cerebellum with
transcranial magnetic stimulation will produce brief changes in performance of the task,
suggesting that cerebellar activation is necessary for normal cognitive function.
