What is rTMS? Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

http://www.southcoastprivate.com.au/o... rTMS is a non-invasive procedure that involves the focused application of magnetic energy to superficial regions of the brain, thus inducing small electrical currents. During an rTMS procedure, an electrical current passes through a small coil placed close to the scalp. This current induces a magnetic field. The magnetic field can pass into the brain without resistance. If the magnetic field is of sufficient strength, it will stimulate electrical activity in nerves below the coil, that is, in superficial regions of the brain.
