Meeting #16: Roisin McMackin leads discussion of TMS safety, ethics, screening and adverse events. Friday 29th May 2026 14:00 GMT, Zoom

[TheHandLab]

Dear all @TMSMultiLab/meetings ,

Last month (fells like so much longer ago!?) we heard from Gleb about the new Python tool he is building for TMS-EMG analysis - "AutoMEP". There are a lot of different tools and methods being used to process data out there, and it would be great if we can agree - where possible - on at least the analyses and algorithms being used, if not the software platform (it's Matlab for me!). Many thanks Gleb for showing us all his hard work and stimulating some excellent discussions.

This month's meeting will be lead by Roisin McMackin and will focus on how we all deal with ethics and safety. One aim for the meeting might be to agree how we deal with 'adverse events' - what do we do when someone says they don't like the stimulation, or needs a moment to breath, or starts sweating and looking pale...

We need all your individual experiences, so join us:

And finally, congratulations to Louisa & Luigi for their latest paper out this week:

Conscious Tactile Perception Depends on Early Processing in Primary Somatosensory Cortex

If either of them come to the meeting, we should give them a 5-minute slot to advertise their paper. New meeting feature just dropped???

cheers,
Nick
