Electric field depth–focality tradeoff in transcranial magnetic stimulation: simulation comparison of 50 coil designs (2012, neutral): “Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique that is used or investigated for numerous research and therapeutic applications, including the study of normal and pathological brain function and the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders [1,2].”
Combining non-invasive transcranial brain stimulation with neuroimaging and electrophysiology: Current approaches and future perspectives (2016, positive): “…on the pulse form (e.g. monophasic or bi-phasic) and the direction of the electrical current induced in the brain tissue (Pascual-Leone et al., 2000; Walsh and Cowey, 2000) and, in case of repetitive TMS (rTMS), the precise temporal pattern of pulses (Fitzgerald et al., 2006; Ziemann et al., 2008).”
Non-invasive electrical and magnetic stimulation of the brain, spinal cord, roots and peripheral nerves: Basic principles and procedures for routine clinical and research application. An updated report from an I.F.C.N. Committee (2015, background): “In the majority of studies, low-frequency stimulation has been applied at 1 Hz, although a smaller number of studies have utilized frequencies between 0.1 and 0.9 Hz (Chen et al., 1997; Fitzgerald et al., 2006).”
