| Abstract | Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive tool that allows us to stimulate the human brain. This technique can be used to create virtual patients, and has been used for investigating higher-order brain functions in humans. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is useful to locate its stimulation site, and the combination of TMS and fMRI can be applied to correlate TMS behavioral effects with fMRI activity. |
| Keywords | TMS, fMRI, human, virtual patient, higher-order brain function |
