Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) was initially applied to the motor cortex (M1) at either a fixed frequency or in patterned bursts and the consequences of these rTMS protocols were then revealed by measuring whether the amplitude of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) evoked by single pulses of TMS to M1 were changed after the application of rTMS. One of the most popular rTMS protocols that was developed using this method was theta burst stimulation (TBS)
