In the field of neurostimulation, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation is gaining more and more momentum since it allows direct control on brain activation in a non-invasive and non-painful manner. However, accuracy of TMS administrations and precise knowledge on its biological effects are still limited. To better understand TMS induced effects, we propose a novel combined TMS-MRI framework which allows us to map the TMS induced magnetic field and to map subject-specific brain activation by means of concurrent TMS-MRI measurements. These subject-specific measurements, will allow us to validate neuronal models which are currently used to predict TMS induced brain activations.
