        abstract = {Along with advances in brain technologies comes the ability to enhance the cognitive and affective states of normal people.  In this essay, I examine a relatively young technology used in cognitive neuroscience called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).  I explain what it is, how it works and what some of its applications are.  I suggest that a potential source of reservation one might have regarding brain-altering enhancement is the threat it seemingly poses to the subjective importance of mental states. I then consider the possibility of its being used as an enhancement device and question the authenticity of abilities of individuals that are enhanced by use of TMS.   I conclude that judgments regarding the appropriateness of such neurocognitive enhancements should be considered on a case by case basis.}
