As transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) continues to expand from a tool of neuroscience research into a growing array of clinical applications, it presents a number of open questions that both invite and complicate ethical evaluation. This volume explores the ethical landscape surrounding TMS in both research and clinical settings, spanning historical reflection, theoretical debate, empirical analysis and clinical insight.

Contents: Part I — Historical and Theoretical Reflections (origins of TMS research, racial disparities in access, caregiver perspectives, cognitive enhancement); Part II — New Directions and Ethical Issues in Clinical TMS Research (treatment subgrouping, adolescent and geriatric use, mood and substance use disorders, suicidality, regulatory landscape).
