Most interesting! If TMS can affect the brain as you have explained. Do your studies look at how EMF from a smartphone can affect the brain when talking holding the phone close to the ear?
It would be of interest to find if there are benefits or harm when holding to the brain and whether the type of conversation would change the effect on the brain?
