Combining TMS and EEG to study cognitive function and cortico-cortico interactions.
There has long been an interest in exploring the functional dynamics of the brain's connectivity during cognitive processing, and some recent methodological developments now allow us to test important long-standing hypotheses. This review focuses on the recent development of combined online transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) and on new studies that have employed this combination to study causal interactions between neural areas involved in perception and cognition.
