About
Esther M. ter Braak is a leading researcher in the field of non-invasive brain stimulation, with a primary focus on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) methodology and its clinical applications. Her work centers on improving the precision, reliability, and reproducibility of TMS protocols, particularly in the context of motor cortex mapping and cortical excitability assessment. Her most cited study, "Accurate Coil Positioning is Important for Single and Paired Pulse TMS on the Subject Level" (2018, 41 citations), provides critical insights into the necessity of function-guided neuronavigation, demonstrating that even minor deviations in coil placement can significantly alter TMS outcomes at the individual level. This research has had a substantial impact on the field by establishing evidence-based standards for TMS coil positioning, directly influencing both experimental design and clinical practice. Ter Braak’s contributions are essential for researchers and clinicians seeking to enhance the validity of TMS-based diagnostics and interventions, making her a key figure in advancing the methodological rigor of brain stimulation research.
