The crucial importance of timing of brain stimulation: Towards brain-oscillation-synchronized transcranial magnetic stimulation for the treatment of epilepsy. Ghent University
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique. It is a promising treatment method for patients with refractory epilepsy. However, the overall response rates remain modest and there is high inter-individual variability. Recent findings, mostly derived after motor cortex stimulation, suggest that the exact timing of the delivery of TMS pulses has crucial effects on the individual brain response. This ...
