Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The main study parameters are the presence and characteristics of the TMS-EMG (MEP) and TMS-EEG (TEP) response.<br><br /><br /><br>1) MEP response<br /><br>• Resting motor threshold (rMT) - Tesla<br /><br>• Long intracortical inhibition (LICI) - percentage ratio of the mean peak-to-peak amplitude of the response to the second test pulse (TR) and the first conditioning pulse (CR) at each ISI (TR/CR%)<br><br /><br /><br>2) TEP response<br /><br>• Amplitude of peaks - microV<br /><br>• Latencies of peaks - ms
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Additional signal analysis methods applied on the MEP and TEP. For example, wavelet analysis of early and late TEPs and the spatio-temporal characteristics of the TEP.
