Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is increasingly being used to demonstrate the causal links between brain and behavior in humans. Further, extensive clinical trials are being conducted to investigate the therapeutic role of TMS in disorders such as depression. Because TMS causes strong peripheral effects such as auditory clicks and muscle twitches, experimental artifacts such as subject ...

We study the asymptotic behavior of $N$-dimensional colored Jones polynomial a cable figure-eight knot, evaluated at $\exp(\xi/N)$ for real number $\xi$. show that if $\xi$ is sufficiently large, grows exponentially when $N$ goes to infinity. Moreover growth rate related Chern-Simons invariant knot exterior associated with an $\mathrm{SL}(2;\mathbb{R})$ representation.

Objective: This work aims to reduce the acoustic noise level of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coils. TMS requires high currents (several thousand amperes) be pulsed through coil, which generates a loud impulse whose peak sound pressure (SPL) can exceed 130 dB(Z). poses risk hearing and elicits unwanted neural activation auditory brain circuits. Methods: We propose new double-containme...

Introduction: For cognitive neuroscience research Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a useful method for probing brain connectivity, combined with fMRI. Standard fMRI experiments interleaved with TMS are possible as proven from several studies [1-2], but to date, there are no specific studies that thoroughly characterize and discuss all risks related to concurrent TMS/fMRI. An important...
