What brain region did they stimulate? And what kind of TMS parameters?It must have been repetitive TMS, at what frequency?

>What brain region did they stimulate?
During the experiment the sequence of regions was switched up between us, I'm not sure we even all had the exact same set of regions tested. They tested many regions, from the frontal cortex to the motor cortex.

They were targeting a 1cm^3 portion of the brain with something like 2 pulses per second. I'm not sure what the frequency of the magnetic field in the pulses was, I think fairly high.
