Repetitive TMS Frequency Calculator
Actual recorded repetitive-TMSinterpulse interval frequency (N−1)/last-minus-first. Disjoint train gaps alter the reported aggregate; not programmed device validation or a recommended/safe stimulation frequency.
Description
Repetitive stimulation frequency can be summarized from successive recorded pulse times.
Repetitive stimulation frequency can be summarized from successive recorded pulse times.1
Reciprocal mean spacing does not validate a prescribed train or detect omitted pulses.
When to use Repetitive TMS Frequency Calculator
Use this tool to calculate or review the supplied observations under the stated rules. Establish the assessment or recording protocol, units, instrument version and independently applicable reference or calibration.
How to use Repetitive TMS Frequency Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the assessment or recording protocol, units, instrument version and independently applicable reference or calibration.
- Enter independentlyRecordedPulseTimesSeconds, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read result.observedMeanInterpulseSeconds, result.observedPulseIntervalFrequencyHz. Use the units and sign conventions below.
- Correct any reported input issue and run again. Before using a successful result, check the stated units, signs, reference scope and observation coverage.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| independentlyRecordedPulseTimesSeconds | Independently recorded pulse times seconds | list of number | Required |
Require at least two strictly increasing finite pulse-time coordinates in seconds. Calculate adjacent positive intervals, their arithmetic mean and its reciprocal in hertz. No regular-spacing guard is imposed.
interval_i=time_(i+1)−time_i; meanInterval=mean(intervals); frequencyHz=1/meanInterval Use the matching field units and the exact boundary, ordering and reference rules above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| result | Structured result; its nested fields below contain the actual calculation or selected reference | object |
| result.observedMeanInterpulseSeconds | Observed Mean Interpulse Seconds | number |
| result.observedPulseIntervalFrequencyHz | Observed Pulse Interval Frequency Hz | number |

}Limitations and assumptions
Actual acquisition, assessment protocol, instrument version and calibration determine applicability. The tool does not examine a person, classify images, administer a questionnaire or choose diagnostic cutoffs.
Missing required fields, unknown fields, wrong types and violated rules return input issues. Numeric values and outputs must be finite. Lists and matrices must be dense, without missing cells. Numeric lists allow at most 10000 entries; ordinary string lists allow at most 128 strings of 128 UTF-16 units each; numeric matrices allow at most 128 rows and 128 columns, subject to narrower requirements above. Extremely large composite outputs are rejected.
Alternative or Complementary methods
For a related step, use TMS Intensity Calculator: Transcranial magnetic stimulation intensity belongs to a qualified protocol and device configuration. For a complementary comparison, use Intermittent TBS Burst Count Calculator: Intermittent theta-burst delivery can be reconciled against a prescribed burst inventory.
