Transcranial static magnetic field stimulation (tSMS), which uses static magnetic fields produced by a small and strong neodymium magnet placed on the scalp, is a new member of non-invasive brain stimulation family. tSMS can reduce the cortical excitability in the cerebral cortex just below the magnet as well as modulate the function of the cerebral cortex contralateral to the stimulation side via the brain network. tSMS is a promising neuromodulatory technique for a safe, low-cost, and easy therapeutic tool. However, the neurophysiological mechanisms how local tSMS changes the whole brain net
