Comparing the after-effects of continuous theta burst stimulation and conventional 1 Hz rTMS on semantic processing

Highlights ► We compared different repetitive TMS patterns that impair semantic processing. ► Continuous theta-burst with 90% AMT and 1 Hz rTMS with 100% RMT both increased reaction times. ► cTBS is more comfortable and might replace 1 Hz rTMS in virtual lesion studies.
