Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the motor cortex

When transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is applied over the primary motor cortex, it will induce motor-evoked potentials (MEPs). The magnetic impulse to the motor cortex activates neurons that have connections to muscles throughout the body.
Motor-evoked potentials are often used to measure the excitability of the motor cortex. This is particularly interesting to study in volunteers with movement disabilities, such as after a stroke. Furthermore, the participant in this video is wearing an electroencephalography (EEG) cap, which measures brain oscillations.

USE OF STOCK IMAGES AND VIDEOS
Occasionally we make use of stock images and videos (pixabay.com or pexels.com). We use these to make our videos more lively (better than looking at a blank screen). These stock videos should not be taken as an exact scientific reflection of the discussed content. In some cases they are not fully accurate. We try to have a high viewing pleasure, while at the same time create as little confusion as possible. Thus we aim to only use them when it is clear that they are not directly related to the discussed content.
CHANNEL GOALS
The Psyched! channel focuses on providing education about psychology and neuroscience. Here you learn all about human behavior, the mind and the brain. It is our goal to reach everyone, from people who are casually interested to academic researchers. As such we provide simple explanation videos as well as profound lectures. If you like our content, consider to subscribe!
