====== Transcranial magnetic stimulation =======

[[Transcranial magnetic stimulation]] (TMS) is a unique [[method]] for non-invasive brain [[imaging]]. The fundamental difference between TMS and other available non-invasive brain imaging techniques is that when a physiological response is evoked by stimulation of a cortical area, that specific cortical area is causally related to the response. With other imaging methods, it is only possible to detect and map a brain area that participates in a given task or reaction.
