Definition

A noninvasive neuromodulation technique that applies time‑varying magnetic fields via a coil held against the scalp to induce electric fields and currents in targeted cortical tissue, thereby modulating neuronal excitability; stimulation effects depend on coil geometry, pulse waveform, intensity, frequency, and site of application.
