In this talk, I will present our latest developments of a fully automated, non-invasive multi-locus transcranial magnetic stimulation (mTMS) platform that enables fast and accurate targeting of multiple cortical regions, informed by anatomical and functional measures. The first prototype of our system comprises a custom 5-coil mTMS device, assisted by a collaborative robotic arm and a neuronavigation software (InVesalius) with real-time visualization of tractography data. I will also show our recent results from mapping cortical regions based on electroencephalography (EEG) or -myography (EMG) data. We anticipate that wireless and automated access to networked brain areas will enable the development of highly efficient diagnostic and treatment protocols for neurological conditions.
