Reliable and efficient transcranial magnetic stimulation-electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) using ultra-thin active electrodes.
Article in Communications engineering, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Transcranial magnetic stimulation combined with electroencephalography enables direct assessment of cortical excitability and connectivity via stimulation-evoked responses. While passive electrodes remain the gold standard, they require extensive preparation and are sensitive to contact quality, whereas active electrodes are easier to use but limited by increased height and larger decay artifacts. Here we introduce an ultra-thin active electrode system combined with hardware- and software-based artifact suppression. We collected electroencephalographic data from 10 healthy adults in Austria in 2024, recording brain responses with both active and passive electrodes during stimulation of the left primary motor cortex. We analyzed early and late responses for similarity and amplitude variability and found high consistency between electrode types, with stable waveforms after 20-30 trials. Response amplitudes did not differ significantly between electrode types. These findings demonstrate that active electrode systems can provide reliable and efficient recordings, supporting their broader use in stimulation-electroencephalography research.
