Description of the variables:
-----------------------------

Participant	Participant's identification number

outliers	Participant's classification as outliers (0=not outlier; 1=outlier)

stimulation	TMS stimulation group (0=iTBS; 1=cTBS; 2=sham)

age		Participant's age at the time of the experiment

menstrual_phase	Participant's menstrual cycle phase at the time of the experiment (0=luteinic; 1=preovulatory; 2=follicular; 3=menopause)

valence		Valence asigned to neutral (neu), emotional (emo) and scrambled (scr) distractors 		assessed through the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) affective rating questionnaire

arousal 	Arousal asigned to neutral (neu), emotional (emo) and scrambled (scr) distractors assessed through the Self-Assessment Manikin (SAM) affective rating questionnaire

missed_trials	Number of trials without valid responses (absent or double) out of 84

hit 		Hits: trials where the probe face was correctly identified as coincident (previously presented)

CR		Correct rejections: trials where the probe face was correctly identified as non-coincident (new, not previously presented)

FA		False alarms:  trials where a new probe face was incorrectly identified as coincident (previously presented)

miss		Misses: trials where the probe face was incorrectly identified as non-coincident (new, not previously presented) 

corr		Correct responses (hits + correct rejections)

incorr		Incorrect responses (false alarms + misses)

CRS		Correct recognition score [correct responses / (correct responses + incorrect responses)]

RT_corr		Reaction times for correct responses

RT_incorr	Reaction times for incorrect responses
	

Suffixes:	

_neu	Neutral distractors
_emo	Emotional distractors
_scr	Scrambled distractors
