2022 TMS President Jud Ready: TMS is a Place for Firsts

TMS-EEG co-registration: on TMS-induced artifact.

OBJECTIVE The combination of brain stimulation by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and simultaneous electroencephalographic (EEG) recording has the potential to be of great value for understanding human brain functions. Recording EEG during TMS can be technically challenging because TMS induces a very strong electrical field that can saturate recording amplifiers for a long duration. Adv...

Frontal cortex TMS for tinnitus.

Both invasive and non-invasive neuromodulation of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) are capable of suppressing tinnitus loudness. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) of the DLPFC has an add-on effect for auditory cortex (AC) rTMS in improving tinnitus-related distress. We aimed to investigate whether TMS and rTMS of the DLPFC is capable of reducing tinnitus loudness and...

Exploiting Locality in a TMS

This paper presents a new approach for exploiting Truth Maintenance Systems(TMSs) which makes them simpler to use without necessarily incurring a substantial performance penalty. The basic intuition behind this approach is to convey the locality of the knowledge representation of the problem solver to the TMS. The TMS then uses this locality information to control and restrict its inferences. T...

Sham TMS – A New Approach

Discussion: Sham TMS is a tradeoff between competing quality criteria. So far, the applied sham conditions accepted a reduced cortex stimulation effect to imitate the sensations of verum stimulation. We here focused on the development of a sham condition with only minor cortex stimulation. This was achieved by using a mu-metal shield between a double-coil arrangement. With two coils of the same...
