Answer 1

Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is the procedure that is being performed on Tommy, while he is awake.

What is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive method for mood control. It does not require the patient to be sedated and is usually performed on completely conscious patients.

• In this procedure, the nerve cells are stimulated by magnetic pulses by placing electromagnetic coils against the scalp of the patient. The patient is then stimulated repetitively which is why it is known as repetitive TMS.
  

• Repetitive TMS can be targeted to specific sites of the brain in contrast to other brain stimulation therapies which are more generalized. Magnetic pulse activates the regions of the brain that show decreased activity during conditions like depression.
  

Tommy sings during the procedure because the region of the brain responsible for memory and singing is stimulated by this procedure.
