SHAM group
24 subjects (12 females) participated in the SHAM experimental group. The experimental procedures during RMT measurement and neuronavigation calibration were the same as those in the active HIP group; however, during the sham intervention, a DCC TMS was placed on the subject’s scalp directed at the hippocampus without the administration of the TMS pulse. The sound of the stimulation was simulated using another coil placed perpendicular to the participant’s scalp. The subjects were blinded to the condition of the TMS they received (active or sham). We conducted this comparative group to rule out placebo-type processes and verify that the changes in memorization capacity were due to the active stimulation of the combined-stimuli intervention.
