Once upon a time, I was a lab rat in a set of transcranial magnetic stimulation experiments. It felt like my head was being painlessly hammered. My nostrils and eyebrows twitched uncontrollably. Otherwise, there was no discernible impact on behavior, cognition, or affect.

While I was initially hesitant about participating in these experiments, I haven't experienced any side-effects, whether short- or long-term. Underwent three sessions in 2014. Presently, the general consensus is that TMS is a non-invasive method with minimal potential for harm.

Of course, there are cases in which TMS can go awry. Seizure, burns, nausea, etc. are known to occur in some participants. Pre-screening should be serious and thorough. Individuals on medications, with implants of any kind, or various other risk factors are typically excluded.
