This is a study looking at the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a form of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), on the human brain as recorded by intracranial electroencephalography in neurosurgical patients. NIBS will be applied in a targeted manner and brain responses will be recorded.
In the last few years, non-invasive brain stimulation techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), transcranial current stimulation, and peripheral multi-modal stimulation have shown widespread clinical applications. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive method of focally stimulating the brain that uses electromagnetic induction and does not require surgery. There is optimism that TMS and other forms of NIBS will revolutionize how we treat neurological and psychiatric disorders, evidenced by over 1000 clinical trials registered using TMS. Much of this optimism…
Inclusion Criteria: * Eligible subjects will include neurosurgery patients (age 18 and above) who have implantation of intracranial electrodes and undergo long term (about 2 weeks) EEG monitoring in order to decide candidacy for surgical resection of seizure foci. They must have the cognitive capacity to understand the risks and benefits fo the study and provide consent. Exclusion Criteria: Those who are known to have neurological or psychiatric disorder other than primary disease for which patients have surgery will be excluded.
NIBS is applied to the brain.
