TMS occupies a privileged position for mapping brain functions, thanks to the combination of its capacity for spatial and temporal resolution, as well as the fact that it is capable of activating or interfering with brain functions. This makes it possible to establish causal relationships between brain activity and behavior, and not simply correlations as can be derived from studies with other neurophysiological or neuroimaging techniques. Furthermore, applied repetitively (rTMS), TMS is capable of modulating brain activity in the affected cortical region beyond the duration of the stimulation itself. This allows exploring therapeutic applications, where rTMS is used to induce desirable changes in brain activity and normalize alterations.
