<unk>  <unk>  is a noninvasive method to excite neurons in the brain. The excitation is caused by weak electric currents induced in the tissue by rapidly changing<unk>  fields (electromagnetic induction). This way, brain activity can be triggered or modulated without the need for surgery or external electrodes. This is used to study the circuitry and connectivity of the brain.
Repetitive<unk>  is known as rTMS and can produce longer lasting changes. Numerous small-scale pilot studies have shown it could be a treatment tool for various neurological conditions (e.g. migraine, stroke, Parkinsons Disease, dystonia, tinnitus) and [psychiatric conditions (e.g. depression, auditory hallucinations), but as yet no large scale trial has been done, the therapeutic potential of rTMS should not be considered proven.
