Transcranial brain stimulation
3 important questions on Transcranial brain stimulation
What are the three different techniques to modulate brain activity non-invasively?
- Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)
- Transcranial current stimulation
- Neuromodulation (e.g. via EEG neurofeedback
What can we measure with TMS?
- Single pulse TMS
With this technique we can measure a motor evoked potential (MEP) or muscle response through EMG. Besides we can measure central motor conduction time.
- Paired pulses
With this technique we can change the MEP amplutide and thus stimulate facilitation of inhibition.
What can we measure with repetitive TMS (rTMS)?
With rTMS we could decrease or increase the cortical excitability
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
Remember faster, study better. Scientifically proven.
