Transcranial magnetic stimulation

Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a method to noninvasively stimulate neurons in the brain and induce immediate or long term changes in activity. Stimulation is mediated by electromagnetic induction of weak electric current in neurons using an electromagnetic coil over the head.

Static magnetic field stimulation of the supplementary motor area modulates resting-state activity and motor behavior

Pineda-Pardo et al. show that focal application of a strong permanent magnet over the supplementary motor area shifts the speed-accuracy tradeoff towards accuracy by modulating both cortical circuits and distant cortical networks. This study suggests the utility of transcranial static magnetic field stimulation for cognitive research.
