Studying the phase-dependent effects of paired-pulse TMS on motor excitability

Status: Recruiting

This study is about understanding how TMS affects the balance between inhibitory and facilitatory processes in the motor cortex. The study includes an experimental device, specifically transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroencephalography (EEG), and electromyography (EMG). TMS is a non-invasive brain stimulation method to probe brain activity. EEG is used to record brain activity through electrodes placed on the head, while EMG measures muscle activity through sensors attached to the skin.
