TMS
a technique where an electric current is used to change magnetic fields underneath the head, causing neurons to fire
within-subjects design
TMS allows for a within-subjects design, comparing the same individual under different stimulation conditions, thereby reducing variability
statistical power
comparing the same person to themselves gives a statistical advantage
timing assessment
TMS allows researchers to assess the exact timing of brain area processing by varying the interval between stimulus presentation and stimulation
precise area stimulation
TMS enables precise stimulation of targeted cortical areas
inderect stimulation
to study medial areas, researchers can stimulate relat6ed cortical areas that are connected to the targeted subcortical region
deductive method
TMS relies on previous research and logical reasoning to determine stimulation areas, avoiding random stimulation
