Many thanks to all the researchers who have told us about how they use #TMS - the results are looking really useful and very interesting!

We'll keep the survey open until 31st October, so if you can please spare 5 minutes:

Complete the #TMS User Survey!

To find out about how #TMS #BrainStim users collect, analyse & share their data, we've made a very brief TMS survey:

forms.gle/83Abpj5F8qzd...

It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information.

We'll use the answers to plan our future work.

Please share!

🙏🙏🙏

TMSMultiLab survey
TMSMultiLab is a community of ~70 researchers using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). We aim to share methods code and data, to reach consensus & encourage best practice in TMS research methods...

Friday is a big day for the TMS-RAT🤩
This Friday's Monthly Meeting is given by Solya Szekely @solyas.bsky.social who will tell us about the TMS-RAT 🐀 Project.

In this project, 18 members of TMSMultiLab created, developed & tested a tool for #SystematicReview #MeyaAnalysis & reporting in #TMS research

Join us!

I need a #mathematician to help with a project. Ideally UK-based.

I've emailed a few folks in my uni, but none replied...

Anyone interested?

My need is nonlinear modelling of brain and muscle signals, optimisation, decomposition.

Anyone?

Over the last few months, members of TMSMultiLab have read, analysed & assessed #TMS research papers to produce a new tool:

17 people
333 papers
80 criteria
2 raters per paper

The dataset contains 53,280 ratings!

It's an immense piece of work, the first empirical contribution of TMSMultiLab...

I'm happy to report that @valedichiaro.bsky.social 's 2nd PhD paper is in press! :-). Brief explainer...

- 2-coil #TMS over left & right primary motor cortex
- TMS in the ~300ms before one hand responds
- corticospinal excitability increases before response
- no changes in non-responding hand

The TMS-RAT v1.0 is now being tested!

It's a checklist / guidance tool to help researchers report #TMS studies & to facilitate quantitative comparisons in #systematicreviews & #meta-analyses

All the data will be made freely available; an interactive website will be coming. Stay tuned!

Happy 40th Birthday #TMS 🥳🧲🎈

Published in the Lancet on 11th May 1985, a 1-page report of a new device & the 1st TMS-evoked MEP changed brain stimulation research & treatment forever

We celebrated with Professor Barker two weeks ago in Birmingham

Here's to 40 more years!
