Is TMS Therapy new?
TMS Therapy is based on knowledge of physical principles dating back nearly 175 years. In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered that electrical currents could be converted into magnetic fields. That basic discovery has been applied to create a powerful and focused electromagnet that can stimulate the brain. During TMS Therapy, an electromagnetic coil that is placed on the scalp produces a pulsed magnetic field. The magnetic field passes non-invasively into the brain and induces an electric field that stimulates the nerve cells in the brain.
