Maybe @cwindfmri.bsky.social @tmsfmri.bsky.social can suggest some most current TMS safety literature.
<TMS best practices>

Hi folks,

Could you please point me to the most up-to-date consensus paper you're aware of relating to TMS safety? Number of pulses / intensities / frequencies / other parameters etc.

I want to take as wide a look at the literature as possible.

Please repost for visibility!

Great & important work. That said, one area that is still overlooked is data quality. This is harder to model because contrast-to-noise can be application specific, but it's critical when designing large studies. Better data means similar results with smaller N or shorter scans. 1/2
