Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive, non-surgical method to excite neurons in the brain. The excitation is caused by weak electric currents induced in the tissue by rapidly changing magnetic fields (electromagnetic induction). This way, brain activity can be triggered or modulated without the need for surgery or external electrodes. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is known as rTMS. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a powerful tool in research and diagnosis for mapping out how the brain functions, and has shown promise for non-invasive, non-surgical treatment of a host of disorders, including depression and auditory hallucinations without the use of medication. Magno-EEG Resonant Therapy (MERT) is an advanced form of rapid Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation rTMS developed by Dr. our electrophysiologist and used exclusively at Brookside Institute NeuroScience Center. The main difference between MERT and rTMS is the use of an electroencephalogram
