Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used to temporarily disrupt activity in specific brain regions, allowing researchers to investigate the role of those regions in various cognitive processes. In this case, TMS can be applied to the visual cortex in order to investigate the effects of its temporary disruption on visual imagery. This is a non-invasive method of investigating the function of the visual cortex, making it more ethically acceptable than destroying the visual cortex.
