Background: Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) allows noninvasive stimulation of neurons using timevarying magnetic fields. Researchers have begun combining TMS with functional imaging to simultaneously stimulate and image brain activity. Recently, the feasibility of interleaving TMS with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was demonstrated. This study tests this new method to det...

Combining Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and Electroencephaloraphy (EEG) offered insights into neural interaction during cognition which allows the investigation on the causal role of specific brain areas in behavior and the interactive connection between the brain areas. The TMS pulse in the TMS-EEG combining study introduces artifacts in the EEG electrodes which may mask the underlyi...

BACKGROUND Many recent studies have used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to study brain-behavior relationships. However, the pulse-to-pulse neural effects of rapid delivery of multiple TMS pulses are unknown largely because of TMS-evoked electrical artifacts limiting recording of brain activity.ObjectiveIn this study, TMS-related artifacts were removed with independent compo...

Introduction Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is used to induce long-lasting changes (aftereffects) in cortical excitability, which are often measured via single-pulse TMS (spTMS) over the motor cortex eliciting motor-evoked potentials (MEPs). rTMS includes various protocols, such as theta-burst (TBS), paired associative (PAS), and continuous with a fixed frequency. Neverthel...

Abstract Empathic abilities have been suggested to involve automatic simulation processes including mirror-like mechanisms in the somatosensory domain, within so-called tactile mirror system (TaMS). In TaMS, observation of a touch on one else's body activates same cortical network involved perception, comprising primary cortex (S1). As empathic appear be altered patients with borderline persona...

LDV FORUM – Band 21(1) – 2006 Abstract Th is article presents UniTerm, a typical representative of terminology management systems (TMS). Th e fi rst part will highlight common characteristics of TMS and give further insight into the UniTerm entry format and database design. Practise has shown that automatic, i.e. blind exchange of terminologies is diffi cult to achieve. Th e second section give...

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) evolved from a simple method to stimulate the motor cortex to an invaluable tool for multiple diagnostic, research, and therapeutic applications. A further development of this noninvasive brain stimulation technique is concomitant electroencephalographic (EEG) recording during TMS. The theoretical underpinnings and the technological innovation of TMS-EEG ...

Nowadays, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has been used to treat major depression and migraine. Integrating transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalogram (TMS EEG) may provide beneficial information. This paper introduces the experimental design, experimental setup and experimental procedures to differentiate the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) and witho...

Interest in systematic reviews and meta-analysis in medicine began in the late 1970s. During the 1980s, these methods began to be adopted more widely by medical researchers, and in the late 1980s, expository journal articles began to appear, and the first book about meta-analysis in medicine was published. The book was published in 1987 by Milos Jenicek, a professor at the Université de Montréa...

With the wide application of motors in deep sea exploration, deep-sea require a higher power density and longer lifetime. Motor lifetime mainly depends on thermo-mechanical stress (TMS) load its stator insulation. Unlike normal motors, are usually filled with oil to compensate for high pressure generated by seawater, which leads additional viscous drag loss. This, combined pressure, will greatl...
