I am also interested in finding these. On page 27 of _Mapping The
Brain_ (1998), Rita Carter writes:
"A technique called Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) uses a
powerful magnetic field to stimulate or inhibit precise areas of the
brain. Trials in several countries have shown that it can help relieve
depression, and doctors at the US National Institute of Neurological
Disorders and Strokes are currently trying it on people with
obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder
(PTSD) and mania."
She gives "Private correspondence between the author and Professor Eric
Wassermann" as the cite for this. Perhaps someone can track down
Wassermann for us.
