Workshop Goals

  • Introduce scientists and clinicians at the University of Utah who currently use or plan to use TMS in their research.
  • Educate users on TMS analysis methods, particularly those that take advantage of MRI + neuronavigation-guided TMS with simultaneous electroencephalography (EEG).
  • Assess the hardware and instrumentation needs of TMS researchers on campus.
  • Discuss programmatic needs including assistance with study design and Institutional Review Board (IRB) applications.

 

Featured Speaker

professionalPic zoomDr. Brian Goodwin

Dr. Goodwin received a BS in Mechanical Engineering from Milwaukee School of Engineering and a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Marquette University. He has extensive experience in computational modeling of biomechanics and bioelectric fields. One area of his research has specifically focused on patient-specific computational modeling of TMS using medical imaging and neuronavigation data. The broad goal of this research is to predict and visualize the effects of TMS based on device characteristics and neurophysiological outcomes. Currently, he is a Data Scientist at a Milwaukee-based firm as well as a consultant for medical device companies.

 


Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a widely used method to achieve neuromodulation by making use of a rapidly varying magnetic field, which induces electric current flow in the cerebral cortex. TMS has gained popularity because it is both non-invasive and has been shown to be effective for a variety of disorders such as tinnitus, fibromyalgia, dystonia, and depression. By virtue of its non-invasive approach, TMS does not have the same risks as invasive modes of neuromodulation such as deep brain stimulation or cortical electrical stimulation. However, while the physics of TMS are well-known, an explanation of the precise modulatory mechanisms remains elusive. Additionally, patient responses to TMS are variable, and the desired neural response is difficult to effectuate.
