Study Purpose: This study looks at how our brain helps us move around places we can see, like a bedroom, without bumping into things. It uses a technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), which temporarily changes how certain brain parts work. This helps researchers see if these brain parts are important for moving around by sight.
Key Terms: rTMS is a tool that sends magnetic pulses to the brain. fMRI is a type of brain scan that shows images of brain activity.
Participant Criteria: You can take part if you have normal vision. You cannot join if you have metal in your body, a history of seizures, certain brain injuries, or are taking specific medications.
- Length: Short tasks, usually with simple computer or behavioral tasks.
- Visits: Involves coming to the lab for testing.
- Risks: Minimal, but there is a risk of seizures for some participants.
