Description
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a neuromodulation technique where a magnetic field is applied to the scalp over a brain region of interest to modulate short-term neural activity. TMS is an FDA approved technique that is used both in research and clinic, eg for treating depression.
We use TMS to temporarily modulate auditory cortical activity while we study its effects throughout the auditory system. Almost all protocols for performing TMS come from applying TMS to the motor cortex without any tailor-made recommendations for the auditory cortex.
In a first-of-a-kind program we aim to develop TMS protocols that accurately, efficiently, safely, and robustly stimulates the auditory cortex.
