The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation and electroencephalogram (TMS-EEG) is an effective means for understanding the network of brain functions.The development of TMS-EEG,however,has been hampered by strong TMS-induced artifacts in the electrode leads.This article first introduces the TMS technology and expounds the causes of TMS-induced artifacts.According to the source of the artifact,the study reviews the artifact removing methods reported in the recent ten years regarding TMS discharge,muscle artifacts and auditory artifacts and residual artifacts.Perspectives of the related techniques are introduced at the end of the article.It is expectable that there will be a great breakthrough not only on the TMS theory but also in clinical research due to the attractive prospect in application and high research value of TMS.TMS-induced artifacts will be well solved at that time.
