入选标准

  • Young adults will have age-appropriate motor skill and will not present with a prior diagnosis of a motor related medical disorder, neurodevelopmental disorder or intellectual impairment.
  • Adults with motor skill significantly below that expected of their age. This atypical motor skill will not be otherwise explained by a relevant diagnosed medical condition, neuro developmental disorder or intellectual disability.

排除标准

  • Anyone who demonstrates a contra-indication for TMS. This includes (but is not limited to):
  • History of seizure
  • Previous clinical EEG where presence of seizure activity has not been excluded
  • Professional driver or machine operator
  • Previous brain surgery or brain injury
  • Ferromagnetic metal in the head outside of the mouth
  • Implanted medical device
  • Serious or unstable illness or medical condition
  • Current or suspected pregnancy or current lactation
  • Any illicit drug use within past 7 days
  • Any alcohol use in past 12 hours, or more than 3 standard drinks in past 24 hours
  • Recent insomnia or another form of sleep deprivation
  • Further, children will not be asked to participate in this project since their inclusion is not required (or necessary) for the study aims to be achieved.
  • People with intellectual or mental impairment and those highly dependent on medical care will be excluded since some health conditions are contraindicators of the TMS procedure that we propose to adopt in this project. These are appropriately (as per Deakin University procedures) screened for as part of the proposed screening protocol described later.
  • People whose primary language is not English will be disadvantaged on some of the assessment tasks which were developed, and where appropriately normed, for English speaking individuals. Accordingly, these assessments are unlikely to provide a true representation of a non-English speaking individuals' abilities and hence they will be excluded from participation.
  • In the case of the exclusion of pregnant women, pregnancy is a contraindication of the TMS procedures that we propose to adopt in this project.
