> How would stms be different that rtms?

From what I gather, brain waves are monitored during treatment, and the frequency and / or power of the magnet are changed instantaneously to synchronize with the brain waves. It has to do with resonant frequencies. It operates under the same principle of a singer being able to shatter a glass with their voice. When the voice frequency matches (synchronizes with) the resonant vibration frequency of the glass, the glass breaks. If a glass with a different resonant frequency (another shape or thickness) were used instead, the voice would not have broken it. The sTMS might cause a wider or deeper spread of brain tissue stimulation compared to the original rTMS. I don't know.
