NIBS protocols
Based on previous studies investigating cognitive performance after tDCS in healthy volunteers (iTBS protocol used a TMS coil applied with an angle of 45 degrees relative to the midline. The protocol consisted of 54 cycles of 10 triplet bursts with a train duration of 2 s and an interval of 8 s between trains (1620 pulses) at 110% of the resting motor threshold. The protocol lasted 8 min and 40 s. The coil B65 Active/Placebo MagVenture (Denmark) was used for both active and placebo protocols, as it has two identical sides for delivering active or placebo stimulation depending on the randomized codes imputed on the device (
