Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation seeks to enable new and existing practitioners to learn and follow established TMS protocols. The individual chapters in this detailed volume describe methods for single and multiple pulse TMS as well as methods for TMS coupled with associated techniques, from electromyography to neuroimaging. The collection promises to facilitate growth and exploration of clinical and experimental TMS. As a volume in the popular Neuromethods series, chapters include the kind of expert implementation advice that encourages successful and reproducible results.
Authoritative and practical, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation will serve not only as a good methodological introduction for those new to this growing field, but also as a source of continual reference for experienced practitioners when re-visiting older, exploring novel, or developing new concepts.

Additional text
From the book reviews:
“This is a comprehensive review of foundational and emerging methodologies in the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) literature. … It is targeted primarily at physicians, researchers, neuroscientists, and other practitioners who use TMS as part of the clinical treatment of patients with various diseases and for experimental research. … The authors successfully accomplish the goal of illustrating the significant role of this device-based therapy and provide practical guidance for further clinical and experimental protocols using TMS.” (Edgar I. Hernandez, Doody’s Book Reviews, October, 2014)
