In a recent research article and accompanying podcast, Dr. Hall discusses the potential uses of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) for new applications in healthcare and brain health research.

A beautiful setting for science

Last week Harvard Medical School hosted an intensive training fellowship for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This was an outstanding opportunity to connect with clinical and research colleagues, all of whom share a common interest in the goal of integrating TMS methods into research and practise. More to come!
