Transcranial magnetic stimulation and cognitive neuroscience

Transcranial magnetic stimulation has been used to investigate almost all a reas of cognitive neuroscience. This article discusses the most imporiant ( and least understood) considerations regarding the use of transcranial magn etic stimulation for cognitive neuroscience and outlines advances in the us e of this technique for the replication and extension of findings from neur opsychology. We also take a more speculative look forward to the emerging d evelopment of strategies for combining transcranial magnetic stimulation wi th other brain imaging technologies and methods in the cognitive neuroscien ces.
