Abstract

Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) encompasses transcranial stimulation techniques that can influence brain excitability. These techniques have the potential to treat conditions like depression, anxiety, and chronic pain, and to provide insights into brain function. However, a lack of standardized reporting practices limits its reproducibility and full clinical potential. This paper aims to foster interinterdisciplinarity toward adopting Computer Science Semantic reporting methods for the standardized documentation of Neuroscience NIBS studies making them explicitly Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable (FAIR). In a large-scale systematic review of 600 repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), a subarea of NIBS, dosages, we describe key properties that allow for structured descriptions and comparisons of the studies. This paper showcases the semantic publishing of NIBS in the ecosphere of knowledge-graph-based next-generation scholarly digital libraries. Specifically, the FAIR Semantic Web resource(s)-based publishing paradigm is implemented for the 600 reviewed rTMS studies in the Open Research Knowledge Graph.
