Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Change in decision-making from pre to post stimulation assessed with the Balloon Analogue Risk Task		10 minutes before and immediately after the 30 minutes of non invasive brain stimulation
Secondary	Changes in brain activity assessed between before and during stimulation measured with functional magnetic resonance (fMRI)		20 minutes before and immediately after the 30 minutes of non invasive brain stimulation
Secondary	Neural metabolites concentrations measured with magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS)		20 minutes before and immediately after the 30 minutes of non invasive brain stimulation
Secondary	Change in Craving from pre to post stimulation assessed with a single standardized scale		7 minutes before and 3 minutes after the end of the 30 minutes of non invasive brain stimulation
