Jan 1, 2025
This scoping review evaluates evidence on mobile phone electromagnetic exposure and its effects on brain oscillations and cortical excitability in healthy individuals. Across 78 EEG studies (and 2 TMS studies), the authors report that exposure may be linked to changes in neural activity, including increased…

Jan 1, 2009
This methods study evaluated an MRI-based surface distance measurements (SDM) approach for localizing Broca's area for TMS coil placement without external tracking devices. Coil positioning using SDM was compared with an advanced frameless stereotaxic navigation system. The reported mean difference between methods…

Jan 1, 2009
This study describes development and validation of a sham rTMS approach that combines a matched sham coil (for look/sound) with scalp electrical stimulation (for sensation). In back-to-back comparisons, TMS-naïve participants reportedly could not tell active from sham, whereas experienced participants could. The…

Jan 1, 2008
This engineering-focused conference paper proposes figures of merit to evaluate deep-brain transcranial magnetic stimulation (dTMS) coil designs, focusing on depth penetration, scalp stimulation, focality, and energy. It analyzes circular crown and C-core coils and reports reduced electric-field attenuation with…
