Abstract

The current within subjects (N=22) experiment investigated whether acute exercise can dampen the temporary down-regulatory effects of cTBS on cognitive control. Both moderate and light exercise appear to have attenuated cTBS impact; no overall changes on behavioural and EEG measures were observed following cTBS in either exercise intensity condition.
