History of Magnetic Stimulation of the Nervous System

The use of a time-varying magnetic field to induce a sufficiently strong current to stimulate living tissue was first reported by dʼArsonval in 1896. Since then, there have been many studies in what is now called magnetic stimulation. This paper traces the history of this field from dʼArsonval to it...

Zusammenfassung:	The use of a time-varying magnetic field to induce a sufficiently strong current to stimulate living tissue was first reported by dʼArsonval in 1896. Since then, there have been many studies in what is now called magnetic stimulation. This paper traces the history of this field from dʼArsonval to its present use in neurophysiology.
