My friends and I would love to make a TMS machine and apply it to make famous "god helmet". We know that magnetic stimulation may cause visions of angels, gods etc. My question is: what are the dangers?

1$\begingroup$ You should primarily consider that TMS therapy is administered to human patients by licensed clinicians and physicians, who are (1) qualified to deliver medical procedures and (2) qualified to monitor patients for adverse effects that could occur such as seizures. Even if it were an animal you would still need quite a bit of licensing and approval from a governing body like an IACUC. $\endgroup$– CKMCommented Mar 14, 2016 at 23:10

$\begingroup$ TMS may evoke simple visual percepts or motor responses, but I've never heard of complex perceptual changes elicited by TMS. Further, this site isn't meant to assist you in making potentially harmful devices. $\endgroup$– AliceD ♦Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 6:16

1$\begingroup$ I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because OP requests assistance on building a potentially hazardous device. $\endgroup$– AliceD ♦Commented Mar 15, 2016 at 6:18

1$\begingroup$ I would not consider this question off-topic on the grounds of it asking about a potentially harmful device. I however, would consider this question as slightly broad. Moreover, questions on legality are not really on topic here. You may try to have a look at the responses to the linked article and also the articles citing it. As @CMosychuk has pointed out, carrying out these procedures are not suitable/allowed for something like a science fair. You can however volunteer for the experiment yourself. $\endgroup$– WYSIWYGCommented Mar 15, 2016 at 7:09

$\begingroup$ @Christiaan I edited my question. Now it fits the rules. Can you revive my question? $\endgroup$– user46147Commented Mar 17, 2016 at 17:39
