The study aims to investigate, through the use of electroencephalography (EEG), instantaneous brain states, namely rapid oscillations of the brain's electrical activity, and their relationship with behavior and brain functions. The study will focus on three main objectives: (1) establishing a relationship between brain oscillations and behavior; (2) establishing a relationship between brain oscillations and brain functions, in terms of neural responsiveness; and (3) identifying the different phases of brain oscillations and investigating any related modulations of behavior and brain functions.
PHAROS will combine EEG with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to investigate and modulate brain states non-invasively.
