This study was conducted to determine whether humans' judgments about the speed and direction of moving stimuli was differentially affected by transcrani-al magnetic stimulation (TMS). Subjects viewed two successively presented moving stimuli that differed from each other both in speed and direction of motion. Single-pulse TMS was applied either medially (approximately 2 cm above the inion) or ...

Measuring the electric field generated in several deep brain structures during Transcranial electrical stimulation humans in-vivo. In addition, we investigated effects of TES intensities and montages on intracerebral EF. (TES) has shown for last decades promises as a treatment neurological psychiatric disorders. Its efficiency is related to amount (EF) magnitude delivered target. Very few studi...

Background/Overview Surgical management of brain tumors involves resecting the brain tumor and preserving essential brain function. “Mapping” of brain functions, such as body movement and language, is most accurately achieved with direct cortical stimulation (DCS), an intraoperative procedure that lengthens operating times and requires a wide surgical opening. Even if not completely accurate co...

Acknowledgments First and farmost, I would like to thank my thesis supervisor Dr. François Tremblay for his time and guidance throughout my research project. Thanks to him I was not only able successfully complete my project, but also have the opportunity to develop as a researcher by participating at various conferences. I extend my gratitude to Sabah Master for her help in data collection as ...

27 28 Subjective tinnitus is the perception of a sound without any external source. Repetitive 29 transcranial magnetic stimulation has been examined as a treatment tool for chronic tinnitus 30 for several years trying to target hyperactivity / abnormal synchronization within the auditory 31 cortex putatively underlying the auditory phantom percept. However, its exact impact on 32 auditory cort...
