Modulation of oscillatory activity in response to very low intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation in the human primary motor cortex
Researchers have demonstrated that very low intensity transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can influence neural oscillations in the human motor cortex. This discovery suggests that weaker magnetic fields than previously thought effective can modulate brain activity, potentially enabling more energy-efficient medical technologies.
Why it matters
This finding could lead to the development of portable, low-power brain stimulation devices for treating neurological conditions.
