A positive response to rTMS for tinnitus is associated with an rTMS-induced change in beta coherence of the EEG. Increased beta coherence may be a biomarker of the rTMS effect; a "top-down" modulation of the EEG that promotes habituation to tinnitus. Participants whose tinnitus did not improve after rTMS did not show any changes in the EEG.
