Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a popular method for studying causal relationships between neural activity and behavior. However, its mode of action remains controversial, and so far there is no framework to explain its wide range of facilitatory and inhibitory behavioral effects. While some theoretical accounts suggest that TMS suppresses neuronal processing, other competing accounts propose that the effects of TMS result from the addition of noise to neuronal processing. Here we exp ...[more]
