In this course, we introduce transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electric stimulation (TES) to those who are new to the field of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS). We will explain what both TMS and TES can be used for, in the context of biomedical and research applications, using example studies. Additionally, we provide a brief history of both techniques and illustrate how the interaction between electromagnetic fields and neurons is the fundament of these techniques.
