We investigate
the relationship between human visual experience and underlying neuronal
electrical activity, using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
We explore methods that make the effect of TMS on the visual cortex
directly visible, to look at purely cortical activity underlying our
conscious visual experience. We also develop a biophysical theory to
simulate the effect of magnetic stimulation on single neurons. Based
on it, we create compartmental models of realistic cortical neurons
to find neural activity underlying perceptual effects of TMS. (full
