We tested how TMS pulses and the separation between TMS pulse and RF excitation affect MRI SNR and tSNR using our tailored 8-channel TMS-compatible MRI coil array. Result from an in vivo experiment using this integrated system to record the BOLD signal elicited by TMS pulses at human primary motor cortex is also reported.
