This paper compares the electrophysiological effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and intracranial electrical stimulation (IES) using scalp EEG recordings in different brain states.

This study shows that TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs) can have distinct spatiotemporal patterns lasting up to 300 ms when targeting specific cortical areas, challenging the view that later components are due to sensory inputs.

TAAC generates customized masking noises to reduce auditory confounds in TMS-EEG studies, achieving effective masking at lower sound pressure levels than standard methods.

The paper introduces rt-TEP, a real-time visualization tool for TMS-evoked potentials that improves signal quality and parameter optimization.

This study shows that focal brain injuries lead to local sleep-like dynamics in the surrounding cortex, disrupting signal complexity while coexisting with wakefulness patterns.
