Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) Self-Referential Processing (rTMS-SRP)

This will be a single site pilot study. 16 subjects with early phase psychosis (EPP), defined as medical record documentation of the onset of clinically significant psychotic symptoms within the past ten years, will be randomized 1:1 to double-blind treatment with 5 sessions of rTMS or sham stimulation directed at the bilateral precuneus over the course of 1 week. Subjects will undergo functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) procedures, behavioral and cognitive assessments, and self-referential memory paradigm (SRMP) at baseline and immediately following the final rTMS or sham session. Contact with subjects will be conducted at two weeks after the end of study intervention for adverse event assessments. In the event new adverse events felt to be related to the study intervention have occurred following the termination of study procedures, subjects will be brought in for further safety assessments.
