Magnetic Tides
The investigators have recently developed a new non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) system, kilohertz transcranial magnetic perturbation (kTMP) that opens up a new experimental space for safely modulating neural excitability in targeted areas of the human brain. This project will characterize the broad parameter space of kTMP in terms of tolerability and efficacy in healthy individuals. Following earlier feasibility studies, we are now increasing our number of subjects in order to capture preliminary safety and effectiveness information on a near-final device.
Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has attracted considerable interest in the cognitive neuroscience community, providing an important basic research tool to study brain function, with emerging clinical applications to enhance function in individuals with neurological disorders. The investigators have developed a radically new NIBS approach, one in which subthreshold modulation of neural excitability is brought about via oscillating magnetic fields at kilohertz (kHZ) frequencies. This system, referred to kTMP (kHz Transcranial Magnetic Perturbation) significantly increases the range of sub…
