Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a biological technique that uses coils placed on the head to create brief magnetic fields reaching the cerebral cortex. It is used to measure cortical excitability, map brain function, study neurophysiology, and has also been used as an alternative to electroconvulsive therapy for depression, although the risk of triggering seizures limits its use.
