The purpose of this research study is to learn if and how non-invasive brain stimulation influences motivation problems in Parkinson's disease. Men and women aged 55-80 years with Parkinson's disease for at least 5 years can join the study. There are three study visits. Participation will involve answering questions, doing exercises where you squeeze a joystick to earn "rewards", recording of your brain activity, and receiving transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
We are interested in how people react to offers of help from potential relationship partners.
