About
Dr. W. Paulus is a leading figure in clinical neurophysiology, best known for his foundational work on the safety and standardization of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). His research centers on the ethical, regulatory, and practical frameworks that ensure TMS can be used safely across both healthy subjects and patient populations. His most cited work, the 2021 expert guidelines on TMS safety, emerged from an International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology (IFCN) consensus conference in Siena, Italy. This landmark paper, which has garnered 11 citations, updates a decade-old safety protocol and provides critical recommendations on training, ethical issues, and regulatory oversight. By spearheading this international effort, Dr. Paulus has directly shaped how TMS is applied in research and clinical settings worldwide, helping to mitigate risks and expand the technique’s therapeutic potential. His contributions are essential for any student or researcher working with non-invasive brain stimulation, as they provide the authoritative framework for responsible and effective use of this powerful tool.
