The Intensive Course in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) was held at the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston on July 15–19, 2024. On Tuesday, July 16, this event showcased state-of-the-art developments in TMS technology, such as the Brain Ultimate TMS System.
With Brain Ultimate TMS, Yingchi Technology's FDA-approved Brain Ultimate TMS System is widely available in the United States. Jali Medical, which manages research applications, and Brain Ultimate US, which concentrates on therapeutic settings, are collaborating to promote the system. With its adaptable collaborative approach and modular configuration, this cutting-edge device significantly advances research in noninvasive brain stimulation while improving the effectiveness and accessibility of TMS therapies.
This “Intensive Course in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)” provides a unique opportunity for hands-on learning of the basic principles, standards of use, and potential applications of TMS in clinical neurophysiology, cognitive neuroscience, neurology, and psychiatry. It is a one-week course offered three times per year. The course is conducted in small groups of up to 24 participants with formal teaching sessions and ample practical exposure. At the end of the course participants will have learned and directly experienced how to determine motor threshold, how to record motor evoked potentials, how to conduct cortical mapping, silent period, input-output curve, and paired-pulse TMS studies, and how to safely apply repetitive TMS. Participants will have also learned how to design TMS studies, write TMS protocols and interpret findings of TMS studies. ( ~ excerpt from https://tmslab.org/education-intensive.php)
