In this work we show the feasibility of a novel concurrent TMS/fMRI setup based on two multi-channel receive arrays that allows for whole brain fMRI data acquisition during brain stimulation. We show that stimulation at frequencies of 1 and 10Hz, respectively, leads to distinct changes in BOLD signal. We also report increased TMS-related network effects with higher stimulation. This validity check sets the frame for efficacy studies investigating the TMS stimulation of cortical areas for modulating complex brain networks.
