The team recorded the brain\u2019s electrical responses by EEG during stimulation, with a robot holding the TMS coil, to understand which factors influence these responses. They found that the stimulation site in the prefrontal cortex strongly affects the quality and reliability of the responses, and that individually optimizing the site and coil angle may further improve measurement quality. The researchers hope that this measure could one day help predict who will benefit from TMS and tailor treatment, although more research is needed before clinical use. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sttinfo.fi\/tiedote\/70318121\/yksiloity-magneettistimulaatio-voi-auttaa-masennuksen-hoidossa?publisherId=3747&amp;lang=fi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the full press release (in Finnish).<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 658px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sttinfo.fi\/tiedote\/70318121\/yksiloity-magneettistimulaatio-voi-auttaa-masennuksen-hoidossa?publisherId=3747&amp;lang=fi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sttinfo.fi\/data\/images\/public\/3747\/70318121\/641af7e8-328a-4922-94fb-053a22830034-w_960.jpeg\" alt=\"Towards personalized TMS for depression: new research from Helsinki and Stanford\" width=\"648\" height=\"405\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brain electrical responses can be studied by measuring EEG during brain stimulation.
