  • Severe and/or unstable medical illness, including but not limited to any neurologic, cardiac, renal or hepatic condition
  • Implanted medical device (including but not limited to intracranial implants, cardiac pacemaker, medication pump, etc.) or intracranial implant (e.g., aneurysm clips, shunts, stimulators, cochlear implants, or electrodes) or any other metal object within or near the head, excluding the mouth, that cannot be safely removed
  • Clinically significant laboratory abnormality, in the opinion of the principal investigator
