Physics and biomechanisms - TES & TMS
Overview of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS): The concepts of magnetic fields and electric currents are introduced, followed by a brief description of the various TMS approaches, effects and applications. The goal of this lecture is to provide an introduction for an audience with no previous knowledge or experience of TMS.
At the end of this lecture, students will be able to briefly summarize the basic principles, approaches, effects and applications of TMS.
