⚡ #TMS #Preprint ⚡🐀 🧪 🧠 🧵 Brain stimulation methods are complex; reproducibility depends on knowing what was done. @solyas.bsky.social's paper reports work with myself & 15 other @tmsmultilab.bsky.social members to develop a modular, flexible reporting tool: the TMS-RAT doi.org/10.64898/202...

Another productive visit to the birthplace of #TMS - Queen's Square, UCL 🧠🧲⚡️
