This course will discuss three topics of non-invasive brain stimulation (NBS) techniques.
Modulation of brain rhythms: Several NIBS techniques can modulate endogenous brain rhythms using exogenously applied time-varying stimulation. In the series of three presentations, the authors will present the results of their research as well as provide the overviews of the general state of the art.
Quadripulse stimulation (QPS): QPS was introduced in 2008, and more than 30 papers have been published. In this session, we will give an overview of studies using QPS and discuss its utility and fascinating potentials for synaptic plasticity induction and therapeutic application.
The transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS): The practical guideline for TUS (a brand-new stimulation method) will be proposed soon. In this session, we will present a brief practical introduction of how to use this technique in humans. The Possible mechanisms, safety issues, and actual results of application to the human M1 will be presented.
