TMS-EEG for Biomarker Discovery in Psychiatry
Current diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric illnesses are still based on behavioral observations and self-reports, commonly leading to prolonged untreated illness. Biological markers (biomarkers) may offer an opportunity to revolutionize clinical psychiatry practice by helping provide faster and potentially more effective therapies. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) concurrent with electroencephalography (EEG) (TMS-EEG) is a non-invasive brain mapping methodology that can assess the functions and dynamics of specific brain circuitries in awake humans and aid in biomarker discovery.
