Topic: electric field

Electric Gymnotiform fish live in muddy, shallow waters near the shore – hiding in the dense filamentous roots of floating plants such as Eichornia crassipes (“camalote”). They explore their surroundings by using a series of electric pulses that serve as self emitted carrier of electrosensory signals. This propagates at the speed of light through this spongiform habitat and is barely sensed by the lateral line of predators and prey. The emitted field polarizes the surroundings according to the difference in impedance with water which in turn modifies the profile of transcutaneous currents cons

Both virtual reality (VR) goggles and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as stand-alone tools, have proven to be valuable in neuroscience, medicine, and psychology. However, their combined use is rare due to limited data on technical compatibility and safety considerations. It is unclear whether all brain regions can be equally stimulated while in VR.To investigate the constraints of integrating VR goggles and TMS and to assess brain region accessibility, we explored 28 TMS coil positions over five 3D-printed heads outfitted with MetaQuest2 VR goggles and a TMS coil, using both MNI coord
