Abstract:

The Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique to stimulate the brain, with main applications in depression treatment and pre-operative planning (via functional motor mapping and speech mapping). On average, a TMS treatment session lasts for 30 minutes and coil handling/positioning might become a strenuous task for the operator. A robotic arm could be used to replace the human operator during the coil positioning tasks allowing the doctor to focus on the data analysis phase. In this thesis, a navigated TMS Robotic Assistant is designed, implemented and integrated with

Abstract:

This thesis explores the effects of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) on conscious perception and visual processing. Chapter 1 addresses issues of experimental design. Two broad classes of TMS intervention were used and are reported in separate chapters. Chapter 2 involves repetitive ‘off-line’ TMS combined with neuroimaging techniques. Chapter 3 employs ‘on-line’ TMS applied with temporal specificity to track the passage of information through early visual cortex. Chapter 4 is a general discussion primarily concerned with the issues encountered experiments oriented towards consciousness

The use of robots to assist neurologists in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) has the potential to improve the long term outcome of brain stimulation. Although extensive research has been carried out on TMS robotic system, no single study exists which adequately take into account the control of interaction of contact force between the robot and subject’s head. Thus, the introduction of force feedback control is considered as a desirable feature, and is particularly important when using an autonomous robot manipulator.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is an excellent and non-invasive technique for studying the human brain. Accurate placement of the magnetic coil is required by this technique in order to induce a specific cortical activity. Currently, the coil is manually held in most of stimulation procedures, which does not achieve the precise clinical evaluation of the procedure. This thesis proposes a robotic TMS system to resolve these problems as a robot has excellent locating and holding capabilities.

Despite the well-accepted importance of both techniques, high-cost of neuronavigation systems and limited spatial accuracy of TMS in targeting brain structures, limit their applications.

Abstract:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a modern non invasive method of drug resistant psychiatric disorder treatment. TMS physiology research is hindered by variable, often controversial results. In most studies main attention is being focused on immediate effects after single TMS procedure rather than the influence of a complete therapy course. It is considered that variability of results in TMS practice is caused by different stimulation parameters and imprecision of stimulated area placement in the brain. Although TMS therapy is often viewed as a milder alternative to electroconvulsive

Abstract:

An important aspect of cognitive neuroscience is to localise specific brain regions involved in cognitive tasks, and to determine the mediating brain processes. There are several investigative approaches towards this, but amongst them, only transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is able to interfere with the brain in such a way as to show the critical involvement of a brain region in a particular behaviour. TMS can be applied in normal subjects during the performance of a cognitive task and the resulting disruption of activity in the targeted brain region leads to an alteration in, or suspen

Abstract:

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) at certain frequencies increases thresholds for motor evoked potentials and phosphenes following stimulation of motor or visual cortex. Consequently rTMS is often assumed to introduce a "virtual lesion" in stimulated brain regions, with correspondingly diminished behavioral performance. Here we investigated the effects of rTMS to visual cortex on subjects' ability to perform visual psychophysical tasks. Contrary to expectations of a visual deficit, we find that rTMS often improves the discrimination of visual features. For coarse orientation

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a non-invasive technique that is able to modulate cortical activity beyond the stimulation period. The residual aftereffects are akin to the plasticity mechanism of the brain and suggest the potential use of rTMS for therapy. In parallel, there is evidence that altered oscillatory brain rhythms and network dynamics may lead to symptoms of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, the rTMS interference upon cortical and network oscillatory activity remains relatively unknown. Despite this uncertainty, rTMS continues to be used to alleviate sympt

Abstract:

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive technique used to reversibly modulate the activity of cortical neurons using time-varying magnetic fields. Recently TMS has been used to demonstrate the functional necessity of human cortical areas to visual tasks. For example, it has been shown that delivering TMS over human visual area V5/MT selectively disrupts global motion perception. The temporal resolution of TMS is considered to be one of its main advantages as each pulse has a duration of less than 1 ms. Despite this impressive temporal resolution, however, the critical period(

Abstract:

Action observation interventions have been shown to contribute to improvements in motor performance and (re)learning. This thesis examined the effect of manipulating action observation variables on corticospinal excitability (CSE) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), with the aim of informing interventions for motor (re)learning. Eye-tracking and interview techniques were employed in combination with TMS to provide novel explorations for how screen position, visual context, and emotional valence influence CSE, visual attention, and individual experience during action observation.

Abstract:

Recovery of upper limb function after stroke is associated with reorganisation of cortical motor control, but the mechanisms underlying this process in humans remain unclear. We used Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to probe the natural history of neurophysiological reorganisation acutely and chronically after stroke. We then investigated the use of repetitive TMS as an intervention to interact with learning-associated physiological changes, aiming to enhance the rate at which healthy subjects and patients after stroke learn a novel motor task. Physiological measures acquired longitudin

Abstract:

The thesis designs, constructs, and tests an electrically small dipole antenna probe for the measurement of electric field distributions induced by a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) coil. Its unique features include high spatial resolution, large frequency band from 100 Hz to 300 kHz, efficient feedline isolation via a printed Dyson balun, and accurate mitigation of noise. Prior work in this area is thoroughly reviewed. The proposed probe design is realized in hardware; implementation details and design tradeoffs are described. Test data is presented for the measurement of a CW capacit

Abstract:

Previous research and current models have proposed that the right temporoparietal junction (rTPJ) is crucially involved in the control and distinction of shared representations of action. Hitherto, this assumption has mainly been based on neuroimaging work ( (Spengler, von Cramon, & Brass, 2009); (Spengler, von Cramon, & Brass, 2010)) We tested this hypothesis, that the rTPJ is causally involved in managing shared representations by using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in an offline paradigm to disrupt neural activity in this region. Using a simple imitation-inhibition task we sh
