This study was designed to better understand the role of electrical brain activity in the control of memory. The current study has no immediate benefit to the participant. However, the results of this study may be used to develop novel tools for the treatment of psychiatric mood-disorders that involve a detriment in cognitive control. The study requires approximately 15 hours of participation across five sessions. In the first session, you will do a computerized task and complete questionnaires about your mental health and personality. Based on your task performance, you may advance to the next stage of the experiment. In the next sessions, your brain activity will be recorded using electroencephalography (EEG), sensors on your scalp, and with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Finally, you will receive transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) during performance of a memory task.

As you well know, the therapeutic relationship is an important component of evidence-based practice and a key factor in the successful outcome of a course of psychotherapy. We are doing a study to better understand how psychotherapists feel about their patients during their therapy sessions. By completing this survey, you will help us to develop an evidence-based questionnaire for the assessment of patients' in-session feelings. The final questionnaire will enable researchers and clinicians to learn more about the therapist's experiences as well as the therapeutic relationship, with the goal of improving the therapy process and outcomes.
