Abstract:
Previous studies have shown that the efficacy of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to excite corticospinal neurons depends on pulse waveform. OBJECTIVE/HYPOTHESES: In this study, we examined whether the effectiveness of polyphasic TMS can be increased by using a pulse profile that consists of multiple sine cycles.In eight subjects, single-pulse TMS was applied to the left primary motor hand area through a round coil attached to a stimulator device that generated polyphasic pulses consistin...     »
