This is equivalent to sitting three people back to back and they can only tap each other as a form of communication. Left hand for rotate left right hand for rotate right. The Eeg is not amazing we know they can be used to estimate intent and play games. Tms has a physical feeling to it and in this case a visual phosphene cue. You haven't introduced thoughts magnetically you've introduced a feeling.
