Noninvasive brain stimulation techniques have been widely used for studying the physiology of the CNS, identifying the functional role of specific brain structures and, more recently, exploring large-scale network dynamics. Here we review key findings that contribute to our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the physiological and behavioral effects of these techniques. We highlight recent innovations using noninvasive stimulation to investigate global brain network dynamics and organization. New combinations of these techniques, in conjunction with neuroimaging, will further advance the utility of their application.
非侵入性脑刺激技术已被广泛用于研究中枢神经系统的生理学，确定特定脑结构的功能作用，以及最近探索大规模网络动力学。在这里，我们回顾了有助于我们理解这些技术对生理和行为影响的机制的关键发现。我们强调了最近利用非侵入性刺激来研究大脑全局网络动力学和组织的创新。这些技术的新组合，结合神经影像学，将进一步提高其应用的效用。
