Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) offers a unique, non-invasive method for investigating causal brain-behaviour relationships.
This two-and-a-half-day workshop provides hands-on training in the fundamentals of TMS and its applications to cognitive neuroscience.
The aim is to equip you with knowledge about the opportunities and limitations TMS can offer your cognitive neuroscience research programme.
By the end of the two days you'll have the knowledge and skills to design and run your own TMS experiments.

About this course
After completing this course, you'll:
know how TMS works including the basic physics and physiology of the method
be able to successfully design TMS experiments to investigate causal brain-behaviour relations
have experience using TMS to collect data
be trained in the safety issues relevant to TMS
be able to incorporate TMS into your grant applications
This course is primarily aimed at cognitive neuroscientists in academia at all career stages, from graduate students through to principle investigators.
It's also open to anyone with an interest in the subject area so it would be suitable for professionals considering using TMS such as market research agencies, brand and business consultants, PR firms, and advertising agencies. Please note, however, that the focus is on the methods rather than their application to consumer neuroscience.
There are no prerequisites. The course is offered in English.
The course is delivered over two and a half days as a combination of presentations, interactive discussions and practical demonstrations.
Lectures will be used to present the theoretical material, which will then be reinforced via live demonstrations, journal club discussions, and hands-on experimental sessions.
Interactive components will be done in small groups to maximise the opportunity for questions and personal guidance.
In addition, there will be an ongoing digital forum for you to share ideas, problems, and solutions among the group after completion of the workshop.
You'll receive a certificate of attendance on completion.

Course programme
During the course UCL neuroscientists will provide a comprehensive overview of TMS methods and experimental design.
We'll cover:
- a brief history of brain stimulation
- the physical and neurophysiological basis of TMS
- designing functional connectivity experiments using MEPs (motor-evoked potential)
- designing virtual lesion experiments using both on- and off-line rTMS (repetitive)
- chronometric TMS and combining TMS with other methodologies
- how to integrate TMS into your research programme
In addition, you'll obtain hands-on experience using a TMS system as both an experimenter and as a participant.
