Review:
--Richard Frackowiak, Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, Institute of Neurology, University College London
" This well-written and very accessible text provides a well-grounded exposition of TMS and its value as a tool to study cognitive processes. Walsh and Pascual-Leone not only provide insights into the technique and its physical foundation, they also set their discussion in historical context. Cognitive neuroscientists will find great value in reading this text for its tutorial contributions." --John Jonides, University of Michigan
" Making reversible lesions in the human brain was until recently a secret dream in neuroscientists' minds; examining the effects of local brain stimulation something only neurosurgeons could aspire to. This extraordinary method has opened up a multitude of experimental possibilities that have been rapidly exploited--notably by the authors of this volume. The use of TMS in its various guises with other non-invasive brain recording techniques such as imaging and encephalography promises another great step in the program of grounding the study of human psychology in biological facts." --Richard Frackowiak, Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience, Institute of Neurology, University College London
