Hello all,
I have a question regarding TMS procedures. I am just wondering if anyone is aware of ways of controlling for varying levels of arousal as a result of using TMS for stimulating different brain sites (e.g. frontal scalp locations vs. vertex) whereat this stimulation brings different levels of face muscle contractions and different levels of possible discomfort / annoyance. Could you please direct me to any studies using such controls?
Many Thanks.
Hi Eva,
The first thing that comes to my mind is that, beyond the Vertex, you can stimulate the contralateral equivalent of your target region.
Additionally, I can suggest you take a look at this interactive website for finding TMS-annoyance-matched scalp regions (and other potentially useful features): http://www.tms-smart.info/
Also, here the article: https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01989/full?report=reader
Hope it helps!
Good luck,
Tiziano
