The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- A device called a stimulator generates electric pulses that are delivered to a magnetic coil placed against the scalp.
- The resulting magnetic field penetrates the skull and induces a secondary electric current in the underlying brain tissue, modulating neural activity.
- Medical devices delivering repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation appear to provide reasonably safe and effective treatments for major depressive disorder, chronic pain, and obsessive–compulsive disorder.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Transcranial magnetic stimulation article was read about 140,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 86 and blocks with 75: each hit it takes is cut by 30 %.
