Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation + fMRI study

The Radiology Research Center at the Lausanne University Hospital (CHUV) is looking for healthy adult volunteers of any gender, aged 18 to 55 years old, to participate in a study aimed at mapping the brain activity using a functional MRI technique, called “diffusion functional MRI”. In particular, we would like to understand how TMS-induced local inhibition affects the activity elsewhere in the brain, using this technique.

If you wish to participate, we will schedule you for one TMS-MRI session at Campus Biotech Geneva.

MRI examinations and TMS are safe and non-invasive, provided you meet the inclusion criteria below.

Your personal data will be treated in confidentiality.

Your participation will bring you no medical benefit.

Information

• Place: Campus Biotech Geneva, Chemin des Mines 9, 1202 Geneva
