TMS-EEG for Cortical Excitability

A routine test that involves attaching small wires to the head to read the electrical activity of the brain

Noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain. An electromagnetic coil is placed against the scalp near the forehead. The electromagnet painlessly delivers repetitive magnetic pulses to simulate nerve cells in the brain.

Noninvasive procedure that uses direct electrical currents to stimulate the brain. A constant, low intensity current is passed through two electrodes that are place on the head.
