Electric field calculations in brain stimulation based on finite elements: An optimized processing pipeline for the generation and usage of accurate individual head models (2013, background): “…better field calculations in human noninvasive brain stimulation is increasingly recognized, with the ultimate wish to incorporate these calculations into neuronavigation systems to improve the spatial accuracy of stimulation [Rusconi and Bestmann, 2009; Sack et al., 2009; Sparing et al., 2009].”
Enhancement of human cognitive performance using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (2013, background): “The differences between TMS targeting strategies have been illustrated in a study by Sack et al. (2009), in which it was found that only five subjects were needed to observe a behavioral effect of TMS on a task when individual fMRIs were used for targeting, while double that number were required to…”
Combining non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation with neuroimaging and electrophysiology: Current approaches and future perspectives (2016, neutral): “Several approaches are listed here in the order of increasing precision and experimental power (Sack et al., 2009; Sparing et al., 2008).”
Safety and recommendations for TMS use in healthy subjects and patient populations, with updates on training, ethical and regulatory issues: Expert Guidelines (2020, neutral): “studies specifically addressed this issue, showing the beneficial impact of navigated (nTMS) versusnonnavigated rTMS protocols (Ayache et al., 2016; Bashir et al., 2011; Fitzgerald et al., 2009; Sack et al., 2009).”
Quantifying and reporting the precision of transcranial magnetic stimulation targeting. (2024, unknown): “MRI-guided neuronavigation has been demonstrated to be the most precise way to localize and place a TMS coil to a target (Sack, 2009) and has contributed to improvements in response rates in clinical populations (Downar and Daskalakis, 2013).”
Intermittent theta burst stimulation over the parietal cortex has a significant neural effect on working memory (2021, unknown): “We applied iTBS to each subject under the guidance of his (or her) own fMRI brain activation map within the left parietal cortex (Riddle et al., 2020; Sack et al., 2009) and recorded EEG signals of each subject before and after each iTBS session.”
Network‐based rTMS to modulate working memory: The difficult choice of effective parameters for online interventions (2021, unknown): “…an individualized fMRI targeting approach significantly enhances rTMS efficacy, both in a study directly comparing different targeting approaches (Sack et al., 2009) and in a large meta-analysis comparing targeting approaches across more than one hundred studies (Beynel, Appelbaum et al., 2019).”
Inferring Causality from Noninvasive Brain Stimulation in Cognitive Neuroscience (2020, background): “Systematic comparisons revealed that, with decreasing individualization across the above-described methods, the number of participants required to observe a significant effect increases dramatically (Sack et al., 2009; Sparing, Buelte, Meister, Pauš, & Fink, 2008).”
