Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

I sat down facing the machine with its handheld coil pointed to my head and I started receiving few pulses of magnetic stimulation. Both doctors said almost at the same time "We reached the motor threshold." and they stopped cranking up the Amps. I asked for explanation. They said to me that my hand is twitching in reaction to the impulses. I tried to explain that those few twitches were voluntary and I made them. "Wait for the repetitive stimulation then." one of them said.

My right arm started twitching once per second, it felt strange. A machine taking control of my own hand movements. And no matter how I tried to resist it, it responds to the magnetic stimulation.
