The development of the use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in the study of psychological functions has entered a new phase of sophistication. This is largely due to an increasing physiological knowledge of its effects and to its being used in combination with other experimental techniques. This review presents the current state of our understanding of the mechanisms of TMS in the context of designing and interpreting psychological experiments. We discuss the major conceptual advances in behavioral studies using TMS. There are meaningful physiological and technical achievements to review, as well as a wealth of new perceptual and cognitive experiments. In doing so we summarize the different uses and challenges of TMS in mental chronometry, perception, awareness, learning, and memory.

经颅磁刺激和对行为的理解
在心理功能研究中使用经颅磁刺激 (TMS) 的发展进入了一个新的复杂阶段。这主要是由于对其影响的生理学知识的增加以及它与其他实验技术的结合使用。这篇综述介绍了我们在设计和解释心理实验的背景下对 TMS 机制的理解的现状。我们讨论了使用 TMS 的行为研究的主要概念进步。有有意义的生理和技术成就需要回顾,以及大量新的感知和认知实验。为此,我们总结了 TMS 在心理计时、感知、意识、学习和记忆方面的不同用途和挑战。
