Is that actually the case? I'm of the impression that TMS systems 1) are audibly noisy when in use and 2) evoke activity in the scalp that can be perceived by the subject ("tingling"). Admittedly, adding sham noise would be fairly easy, but I am not sure what countermeasures are possible if the subject can "feel" when TMS is active.
- tokenadult 16y agoI read in a medical text that sham treatments are possible, but I didn't see there details of what must be done to make the sham indistinguishable from the studied treatment. I don't recall seeing anything about feelings in the scalp of patients when I read that source.
