This study investigates whether TMS combined with EEG can measure short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) in healthy volunteers, aiming to develop an objective marker for upper motor neuron involvement in ALS.

This study develops a method to individualize tDCS dosage using reverse-calculated electric field models and TES motor threshold, finding TES MT correlates with E-field-based dose.

This study shows that individualized dose-controlled tDCS reduces variability in electric field intensity at a cortical target site compared to fixed-dose tDCS.

This study evaluates MAGNETO's ability to control neuronal excitability in the somatosensory cortex using in vitro and in vivo recordings, finding no effect on subthreshold membrane excitability or action potential generation.

This study uses TMS-EEG to compare cortical frequency responses during resting state and active task performance, finding higher dominant frequencies during active tasks.

This study investigates the effect of cathodal tDCS on fear extinction in healthy women, finding no significant effect on self-reported fear but a group difference in implicit avoidance tendencies.
