TMS for Attention and Alcohol Use

This study is looking at how attention works with emotions and social thinking, and if this is connected to drinking alcohol. Researchers will use Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive brain stimulation, to see how it affects your attention. You can join if you are 18 or older and live in the Auburn/Opelika area, whether you drink alcohol or not. The study aims to measure changes in how you switch attention, including social attention, and how you react to cues, before and after TMS sessions. The study status is unclear, and it plans to enroll 40 people.

Study design
This interventional study plans to enroll 40 participants. It is not specified if it is randomized or blinded.
What's involved
You would have three study visits over about one month. The first visit includes an MRI scan and surveys. The next two visits each involve a TMS session followed by an MRI scan.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Your attention switching and cue reactivity will be measured at baseline, immediately after the first TMS session, and immediately after the second TMS session.
