On June 12th 2026 the BCNBP - Belgian College of Neuropsychopharmacology & Biological Psychiatry organises an inspiring day focused around rTMS, titled "Let's get wired - how do we bring rTMS into clinical practice".
Speakers include:
Sophie Fitzsimmons on rTMS' working mechanisms
Chris Baeken on clinical perspectives on rTMS
Iris Dalhuisen on maintenance treatment with rTMS
Martijn Arns on the organization and history of rTMS in the Netherlands
The full program and link for registration can be found on the website:

Impressive results from AtaiBeckley re BPL-003 (5-MeO-DMT) in TRD: 76% remission after just 2 doses (8mg+12mg) after 2 mo. in Ph2B. Higher remission than other interventional psychiatry tx such as accelerated TMS, quicker (and lasting) remission and requiring less time.
Use of 8mg+8mg in prospective Ph3 study (instead of 8+12mg) at odds with data (see figure). Use of 4mg as a control also sounds risky, might lack 'dose-response' effects.

Acute rTMS is now firmly embedded in treatment guidelines for depression.
But what about after response?
In the newly published consensus statement in Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, we systematically reviewed 22 studies and combined this with expert panel discussions and real-world survey data from Dutch and Belgian centers.
Key insights:
• Clear differentiation between tapering, maintenance rTMS, and retreatment
• Tapering may reduce early relapse risk
• Monthly clustered protocols (5 sessions over 2–5 days) show the most consistent signal of benefit
• Single-session maintenance shows mixed evidence
• Retreatment is effective in the majority of prior responders, often requiring fewer sessions
• Strong emphasis on patient monitoring and shared decision-making
Importantly, evidence remains limited and largely uncontrolled, underscoring the need for properly powered RCTs comparing maintenance strategies.
This paper aims to bring structure to a field where clinical practice has outpaced the evidence.
If you are working with rTMS and struggling with the “what next after remission?” question, this may be relevant to your practice.

Congrats Neumarker Inc. team with the lead for TDBRAIN diagnostic status prediction! Also... an invitation to all 'AI/ML' specialists, if you can do magic with information rich brain time-series data such as EEG, have a crack at the data!

Just came back from Palestine and really enjoyed training the UEF teams from Betlehem and Nablus on the use of TMS in mental health. We also donated two TMS systems for use in Bethlehem and Nablus, which makes it the first TMS available in Palestine!
Big thanks also to Alexander Sack for donating a TMS machine and Trevor Brown, Klaus Schellhorn, DEYMED Diagnostic and others for support.
The initiative was made possible in collaboration with Dr Asad, Daniel Kropf and Education for Life.

Congrats Kirby Wraith from The Australian National University with the #1 position at the TDBRAIN Challenge for replicated diagnostic predicton accuracy for Depression using EEG data only at a 62% balanced accuracy!
Many AI and ML studies suggest 'unrealistic' 90+% accuracies, all without proper out-of-sample replications. This was our main driver to release the open-access EEG database TDBRAIN including more then 1200 EEGs and rich phenotype data. Glad to see a first diagnostic replication with a realistic accuracy.
