Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for use with electrophysiological signal detecting electrodes, and a transcranial magnetic stimulation device. A computer processor drives the transcranial stimulation device to apply one or more pulses of transcranial magnetic stimulation to a subject. Within a given time period of applying one of the one or more pulses of transcranial magnetic stimulation to the subject, the computer processor detects an electrophysiological signal of the subject, using the electrophysiological signal detecting electrodes. At least partially in response thereto, the computer processor predicts an outcome of treating the subject for a neuropsychiatric condition, using a given therapy, and generates an output on an output device in response to the predicted outcome. Other applications are also described.
