Abstract Objective. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to safely and noninvasively activate brain tissue. However, the characteristic parameters of neuronal activation have been largely unclear. In this work, we propose a novel model develop method infer its from measured motor evoked potential signals. Approach. The connection between due an induced electric field threshold is...

Ensuring patient and participant safety during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is of paramount importance. In this chapter, we begin by exploring a number of general safety concerns and the prevalence of reported side-effects in the TMS literature. Next, we outline contraindications and the recommended safety parameters for each of the major stimulation paradigms (including single and r...
