[HT-01-1] Recent Topics in Neuromodulation by transcranial Static Magnetic Stimulation

^○Tatsuya Mima (The Graduate School of Core Ethics and Frontier Sciences, Ritsumeikan University, Japan)

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS), being safe to implement without much burden to the patients, has now come to be used world-wide as measures for treating patients with various psychiatric and neurological disorders and for the functional intervention in patients undergoing rehabilitation. In this symposium, cutting-edge researches will be presented on the basic mechanisms of NIBS as a method for neuromodulation and its clinical application.
