The rationale is clearly and efficiently explained, with scientific insight into what they are trying to achieve. The gaps in the literature have been identified, and the rationale states the aims and purpose of the study. It could be more specific in why this research is important and how much help it could bring. However, this section needs to be brief- it still has relevant information in general.

# data[].attributes.body
It states that they will aim to recruit 30 right handed adults (18-65) using convenience sampling. There is some recognition of inclusion criteria but no detail of exclusion criteria. There is no justification in this section, other than briefly alluding to why they all need to be right handed.

# data[].attributes.body
Information sheets are given out more than 48 hours before the first lab session. Verbal consent will be given by the participants. Participants will be screened using the Edinburgh Handedness questionnaire (why they all need to be right handed).

# data[].attributes.body
In the main application there is detail on how the participants can withdraw at any time without reason, and that they will also give verbal agreements throughout the study- especially before a new block of testing.

# data[].attributes.body
In the main application it states the participant's data will be kept confidential, however in the information sheet it states their data will be anonymous.

# data[].attributes.body
The study will be completed in accordance with the Data Protection Act, 2018. Student access will be taken away once the dissertation period is complete.

# data[].attributes.body
Potential risk factors have been identified and methods of reducing them have been stated. These include smaller ones such as using earplugs to inhibit the loud TMS noise, and larger risks such as magnetic object interference (dealt with by screening beforehand).

# data[].attributes.body
The rationale explains the aims well but fails to explain why this research is important and what findings from this study could indicate

# data[].attributes.body
No specific exclusion criteria is mentioned. This should be included or if there isn't one, the researchers should explain why they've chosen not to exclude anyone

# data[].attributes.body
The background is supported with scientific evidence and data. Plus the aims of the study of clearly stated.
However, needs more detail on why this research is important and what the findings will state.

# data[].attributes.body
Main application form doesn't state what the findings will indicate but it is stated in the participant information sheet.

# data[].attributes.body
Little detail regarding the inclusion criteria (18-65 years old and right-handed). While mentioning sample size, there is no justification for why this sample size has been chosen. No specific detail on the exclusion criteria alongside justification.

# data[].attributes.body
Information sheet is given out 48 hours prior to the first session.
Verbal consent taken on the day of the experiment.
Consent forms will be collected from all participants.
Participants are screened using the Edinburgh Handedness questionnaire.
TMS safety questionnaires are used to determine if participants can take part or not, and accessed before and throughout the experiment.

# data[].attributes.body
The application form, participant information sheet and consent form states that participants can withdraw at any point, however this is conflicting information in regards to what happens after they withdraw.
Application - still acquire course credits and payment.
Information sheet - not receive course credit and payment.

# data[].attributes.body
Main application states participants data is confidential, but the information sheet states anonymous. This could show that researchers aren't relaying the same information towards the participants in regards to how there data will be handled.

# data[].attributes.body
No information about the participant will be presented. Using unique numbers to identify participant data. Researchers have access while student access is removed. Participants can withdraw their data after 2 weeks collection.

# data[].attributes.body
Application form - states "General Data Projection Regulations" with no reference to which policy its referring to.

Information sheet - Data Protection Act 2018

There are both similarities and differences between the application form and information sheet.

# data[].attributes.body
Multiple risk factors are stated with ways to mitigate them.
While not referenced in the application form, a hazard and risk assessment summary further displays the danger of the risk factors and how to reduce them.
