This study will assess the long-lasting effects of personalized theta burst stimulation (TBS), a repetitive form of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), over the left prefrontal cortex on the approach/avoidance behavior. TBS will be personalized based on the prefrontal theta rhythm captured with electroencephalography (EEG). The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. does a single session of personalized TBS synchronized with the individual theta rhythm over the left prefrontal cortex results in the outlasting changes in the individual behavior? 2. Does TBS results in the brain rhythms' changes as measured using resting-state EEG?
