Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about cognition in psychotic disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and schizoaffective disorder). The main question it aims to answer is: Can we use magnetic stimulation to change processing speed (how quickly people can solve challenging tasks).

Participants will be asked to perform cognitive tasks (problem-solving) and undergo brain scans before and after transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). TMS is a way to non-invasively change brain activity. Forms of TMS are FDA-approved to treat depression and obsessive compulsive disorder. In this study, we will use a different form of TMS to temporarily change brain activity to observe how that changes speed in problem-solving.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

intermittant theta burst stimulation (iTBS)

iTBS consists of 2 s trains of 3 pulses at 50 Hz, repeated at 5 Hz, every 10s for a total of 600 pulses.

DEVICE

continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS)

cTBS consists of 3 pulses at 50 Hz repeated at 5 Hz (every 200ms) continuously for a total of 600 pulses

DEVICE

sham rTMS

sham rTMS does not deliver a significant change in magnetic field strength
