Abstract
© 2015 by Wiley-Blackwell. All rights reserved. This chapter provides overview of
the state of the art of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) devices, including
pulse sources with flexible control of the output waveform parameters and a wide variety
of coil designs. It discusses technologies for accurate TMS targeting, including electric
field models, frameless stereotaxy, and robotic coil holders. The chapter addresses
technological aspects of ancillary coil effects such as heating, noise, vibration,
and scalp stimulation. TMS requires high energy pulses that present a technical challenge
for the design of practical, flexible, and efficient pulse sources. The chapter covers
technical considerations for the integration of TMS and neuroimaging devices. It discusses
various coil configurations and their electric field characteristics as well as technical
advances in coil field modelling, positioning systems, efficiency and cooling, noise
and scalp stimulation, and sham. The chapter summarizes technical considerations for
the integration of TMS and neuroimaging devices.
