To find out about how #TMS #BrainStim users collect, analyse & share their data, we've made a very brief TMS survey:

It should take you less than 5 minutes & does not ask for any personal information.

We'll use the answers to plan our future work.

Please share!

fitting non-linear models with 10 free parameters to human physiology #TMS data is VERY satisfying indeed.

are there any handy guides out there about principled ways to constrain those parameters? I guess I should just look at each one in turn and check the range is biologically plausible? Or..?

🙏

a motor-evoked potential (MEP) from a human hand muscle, fit using a 10-parameter model (actually 2 components, each with 5 parameters). with enough parameters you can fit anything, so how in principle should I go about constraining those parameters..? (the fit here is r^2=0.999 - not bad!)
