Sham rTMS procedures Sham TMS will be administered by tilting the coil 90° off the scalp, with one wing of the coil touching the scalp (Lisamby et al., 2001). This sham-TMS approach produces a clicking sound that is very similar to an active TMS pulse and induces a voltage in the brain that is more than 75% lower than active TMS (Lisanby et al., 2001).
