I went in for another TMS study yesterday, this one simultaneous with EEG. I didn't do much playing around; I did bring in an empty aluminum can and found that no, it doesn't go flying across the room. I'm not surprised; that would take a lot of energy, much more than I'd imagine you could deposit in a small area of brain tissue without consequence. Other than that, all I have to report is that it was a grueling 5 1/2-hour experimental marathon during which time I received a total of about 6,000 pulses, about 200 bursts of 30 each, and I feel just fine. As far as I know, the most anyone has ever done is about 13,000, so I feel kind of special I guess.
I did get an image from the positioning system showing the locations of all the EEG electrodes superimposed on the reconstructed MRI image of my head. It reminded me so much of Hellraiser I couldn't resist...
