TMS equipment at SUBIC
Our TMS systems from Magstim can be used for various types of studies. Read more about them below.
At SUBIC, we offer two systems for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, TMS: Magstim BiStim2 and Magstim Rapid2.
Magstim BiStim2
Magstim BiStim2 combined two independent TMS systems so that paired pulses can be delivered through one coil. Alternatively, they can be used to deliver simultaneous pulses to two individual coils for interhemispheric stimulation. The system is preferentially used for intracortical inhibition as well as facilitation and brain connectivity studies.
The system can be used with the following TMS paradigms:
- Monophasic
- Paired Pulses
- Cortical & Peripheral Stimulation
- Sub- and supra-threshold conditioning

Magstim Rapid2
Magstim Rapid2, with a booster pack, is a system capable of high-frequency repetitive protocols for both cortical and peripheral stimulation. The Rapid² can also connect an existing EMG module. To facilitate double-blind designs, we have a sham TMS coil seemingly identical to the active TMS coil.
The system can be used with the following TMS paradigms:
- Biphasic
- Repetitive Protocols
- Theta Burst
- Cortical & Peripheral Stimulation
- <100Hz frequency stimulation

Coils
To both our systems we offer the following coils:
- AirFilm coil (air cooling for high-power repetitive pulses)
- AirFilm sham coil
- 70mm Remote Control Coil, Figure of eight, Butterfly x2
- 70mm Remove Control Coil, Figure of eight (branding iron model) x 2
- 60mm coil, doughnut shape
