Getting to the Heart of Precision-TMS: Brainmarkers and Heart-Brain Coupling to optimize TMS clinical outcomes.

Given relatively modest remission rates for all antidepressant treatments available, there is a need for approaches that help tailor existing treatments to the individual in order to improve remission rates. In addition, such techniques should be clinically actionable and well validated in blinded out-of-sample validations. Here we introduce the concept of Stratified Psychiatry, that is better suited for implementation in clinical practice, and demonstrate that Brainmarker-I, an EEG biomarker, can successfully help stratify patients between 1-Hz right and 10-Hz left rTMS, as well as for ECT and various other antidepressant treatments, as a clinically actionable stratification marker. Furthermore, a novel update of NCG-TMS called Heart-Brain Coupling is introduced that provides real time evidence of frontal-vagal activation, simply measured using an iPhone app. This technique not only helps identify the right target for frontal-vagal activation, but also provides frontal excitability thresholds (which are known to differ substantially from motor-thresholds).
