Where Clinical Practice Meets Research Excellence

Brain state-dependent brain stimulation with real-time EEG-triggered TMS

Combining transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) within a real-time brain state-dependent stimulation paradigm enables the study of relationships among dynamic brain activity, cortical excitability, and plasticity induction. The video demonstrates a protocol to synchronize TMS pulses with the phase of ongoing EEG oscillations.
