>Currently an EE major but am obsessed with TMS/ using electromagnetism to stimulate the brain in general.

TMS machines are practically Tesla era technology with a fancy computer interface to store patient settings and shit. Big bank of caps dumping variable frequency pulsed currents into coils.

The medical jargon is bullshit, they are inducing currents all fucking over the cortex and then seeing what happens. Any EE could handle the electronics in the things. I sure as shit would not experiment on myself though, given some troubling reports of long term damage.

I wonder if TMS will be seen as bad as ECT down the road. Some awful stories of permanent damage, tinnitus, and being turned into an NPC basically:https://www.madinamerica.com/2020/04/tms-damaged-my-brain/

Guess that's what happens when you induce massive currents over huge sections of brain haphazardly with a machine operating on principles like a Tesla era electrotherapy box
