Since 1896 when d'Arsonval demonstrated that changing magnetic fields could stimulate
excitable tissue (humans experienced phosphenes or bright spots due to either retinal
or visual cortex stimulation) and 1965 when Bickford and Fremming stimulated human
peripheral nerves, a long delay occurred before this technique was used in clinical
practice. In recent years, magnetic stimulation has been the topic of discussion in
many papers and symposia presented at major clinical neurophysiology meetings. The
need for a single reference source with the pertinent information related to this
subject has now been filled with the availability of this well-edited text by Chokroverty.
The First International Symposium on Magnetic Stimulation in Clinical Neurophysiology
was a major impetus for this book.
