Static magnetic field stimulation: An ancient-novel member of the non-invasive brain stimulation techniques

Abstract

The neurophysiological techniques that can induce plasticity or simply modulate cortical excitability or produce interference with normal brain activity and behavior are known as neuromodulation techniques. The interest in using neuromodulation techniques in neurorehabilitation has sharply increased in the last years. Recently we described that transcranial application of static magnetic field is able to interfere with brain activity.
