Previous research showed that pulsed functional magnetic stimulation can activate brain tissue with optimum intensity and frequency. Conventional coils are always set as a figure-8 type or Helmholtz. However, the fields generated by these uniform around target, their performance still needs improvement. In this paper, novel of coil is proposed to shrink irritative zone strengthen intensity. Fur...

Self-other discrimination is a crucial mechanism for social cognition. Neuroimaging and neurostimulation research has pointed to the involvement of the right temporoparietal region in a variety of self-other discrimination tasks. Although repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation over the right temporoparietal area has been shown to disrupt self-other discrimination in face-recognition tasks...

The new tendency in rehabilitation involves non-invasive tools that, if applied early after stroke, promote neurorecovery. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation and transcranial direct current stimulation may correct the disruption of cortical excitability and effectively contribute to the restoration of movement and speech. The present paper analyses the results of non-invasive brain st...

Modulation of activity in the left temporoparietal area (LTA) by 10 Hz repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) results in a transient reduction of tinnitus. We aimed to replicate these results and test whether transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of LTA could yield similar effect. Patients with tinnitus underwent six different types of stimulation in a random order: 10-Hz ...

There has been increased interest in noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as a technique to investigate and treat neuropsychiatric disorders [1,2]. Usually, NIBS is targeted to specific dysfunctional cortical areas, as the case for prefrontal cortex stimulation in mood disorders [3], or regions presumed to modulate dysfunctional areas, as the case for primary motor cortex (M1) stimulation to in...
