Safety, ethical considerations, and application guidelines for the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation in clinical practice and research (2009, background): “…2003; Gershon et al., 2003; Tassinari et al., 2003; Rossi and Rossini, 2004; Leafaucheur, 2004; Hoffman et al., 2005; Couturier, 2005; Fregni et al., 2005a,b; Hallett, 2007; George et al., 2007; Málly and Stone, 2007; Rossini and Rossi, 2007; Devlin and Watkins, 2007; Ridding and Rothwell, 2007).”
Determinants of the induction of cortical plasticity by non‐invasive brain stimulation in healthy subjects (2010, background): “In general, low frequency (<1 Hz) trains reduce cortical excitability and higher frequency (>5 Hz) trains increase cortical excitability (see Ridding & Rothwell, 2007).”
Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews Auditory Verbal Hallucinations as Atypical Inner Speech Monitoring, and the Potential of Neurostimulation as a Treatment Option (neutral): “That said, some argue that the efficacy has often been exaggerated , and more studies may be needed to ensure that improvements are not simply a placebo effect (Miniussi et al., 2005; Ridding and Rothwell, 2007).”
Quantifying and reporting the precision of transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting. (2024, unknown): “The TMS coil generates magnetic fields that induce electrical currents in the cortical area under the coil (~2cm) (Ridding and Rothwell, 2007; Valero-Cabre, 2017).”
