Examining the Predictive Validity of the Iat Prior to and Following Dlpfc Down-Regulation Using Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation (cTBS): An Application to Eating Behaviour.

This study utilized cTBS, a down-regulating variant of rTMS, to examine the predictive validity of the IAT in a food consumption paradigm. Participants were randomized to sham or active cTBS targeting the dlPFC, followed by the IAT and taste-test. Findings revealed stronger predictive validity in the sham versus active condition.
