This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This study is testing a treatment called iTBS (intermittent theta burst stimulation), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation, to see if it can help people with major depression improve their ability to focus and filter out distractions. Depression often makes it hard to concentrate, and researchers want to know if this brain stimulation technique can restore your natural ability to pay attention. You'll receive either real brain stimulation or a sham (fake) treatment over 10 days.
People with depression struggle with attention and focus, but scientists don't fully understand why this happens or how to fix it. This trial aims to fill that gap by testing whether the treatment can restore the brain's natural ability to ignore distractions and concentrate.

You will visit the research clinic for 10 days to receive brain stimulation sessions. Before treatment starts, researchers will use an MRI scan to map your brain and pinpoint the exact location for stimulation. During each session, a magnetic coil will be placed on your scalp over the target area, and you'll receive either real or sham stimulation. You'll also complete attention tests and have your brain activity measured with EEG (electrodes on your scalp) to see how the treatment affects your ability to focus.
