Lumbosacral roots could be tested either by means of magnetic coil stimulation\* or electrically using needle electrode inserted to the laminar level.' We studied 15 normal subjects and 20 patients with lumbosacral root disorders to compare these stimulation techniques. The magnetic stimulator with

## Abstract The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with functional neuroimaging has expanded the potential of TMS for human brain mapping. The precise and reliable positioning of the TMS coil is not a simple task, however. Modern frameless stereotaxic systems allow investigators
To obtain suitable stimulus conditions for transcranial magnetic stimulation, the evoked compound muscle action potential (ECMAP), evoked spinal cord potential (ESCP), and magnetic and electric fields were analyzed in cats with and without the use of a magnetic field shield. Cats were stimulated usi
We measured the peak voltage induced in a sensing loop by a Magstim 200 magnetic stimulator. Coil output varied little for repeated stimulation at the same intensity over a wide range of coil output. In contrast, the first stimulus immediately after a change in intensity was of larger amplitude and
