a b s t r a c tthe applications of neurophysiological therapy techniques range far and few in the realm of modern day medicine. however, the concept of electromagnetic stimulation, the basis for many noninvasive brain stimulation (nibs) techniques today, has been of interest to the scientific community since the late nineteenth century. recently, transcranial direct current stimulation (tdcs) a...

introduction: measuring the size of motor evoked potentials (meps) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (tms) is an investigational technique to show the level of corticospinal excitability however, some of the fundamental methodological aspects of tms (such as the effects of inter-pulse intervals (ipi) on mep size) are not fully understood, this issue raises concerns about the reliabil...

We discovered that the contemporary procedure for assessing voluntary activation of knee extensor muscles with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is invalid. TMS activates too few agonist quadriceps motoneurons and many antagonist hamstrings to estimate resting twitch accurately. A modified procedure, in which TMS-evoked superimposed twitches are considered together from femoral nerve stim...

in this study, the authors reported a case of woman with severe compulsion who became pregnant during the repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation. we carried out repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and behavior therapy simultaneously after repeated medications' refraction. the patient received 20 sessions 1 hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in right dorsolateral...

Abstract Objective: Since the development of new deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices in recent years, there is an increased need for assessing safety combination with transcranial magnetic (TMS). Methods: We applied a combined ex vivo and computational approach to investigate TMS using Boston Scientific segmented electrode. TMS-induced current was measured between electrode lead extension, dif...

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...

There are currently two techniques to manipulate brain function non-invasively: transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These brain stimulation techniques work to cause long-term change within the brain. We have been combining noninvasive brain stimulation with functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate the plasticity of brain...
