Decoding Motor Excitability in TMS Using EEG-Features: An Exploratory Machine Learning Approach by Lisa Haxel, Oskari Ahola, Paolo Belardinelli, Maria Ermolova, Dania Humaidan, Jakob H. Macke, Ulf Ziemann

“…Brain state-dependent transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) holds promise for enhancing neuromodulatory effects by synchronizing stimulation with specific features of cortical oscillations derived from real-time electroencephalography (EEG). However, conventional approaches rely on open-loop systems with static stimulation parameters, assuming that pre-determined EEG features universally indicate high or low excitability states. …”
