Transcranial magnetic stimulation with a half-sine wave pulse elicits direction-specific effects in human motor cortex

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) commonly uses so-called monophasic pulses where the initial rapidly changing current flow is followed by a critically dampened return current. It has been shown that a monophasic TMS pulse pref...
