TMS Reveals Brain Response to Watching Movement

Transcranial magnetic stimulation, or TMS, can reveal how the brain responds when people watch movement. This technique is non-invasive, which means it does not require surgery. A coil placed against the scalp carries current and creates a brief magnetic field. By induction, that field triggers current in nearby neural tissu...
