Abstract
It's a curse to live in interesting times if you don't like stimulating surprises. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) of the brain is an interesting technique whose time seems to have come. Many labs are actively developing TMS paradigms as tools to be used in parallel with fMRI and other methods, to explore human brain function. In a recent study, Théoret et al. applied TMS over the cerebellum, and claim that they can activate and disturb some components of the timing circuitry used for self-paced finger tapping 1 Théoret H. et al. Increased variability of paced finger tapping accuracy following repetitive magnetic stimulation of the cerebellum in humans. Neurosci. Lett. 2001; 306: 29-32 Crossref PubMed Scopus (144) Google Scholar .
