Publication: Using TMS to reveal cortical excitability during preparation for a RT task.

PDF  This study investigated the entirety of the timecourse of cortico-spinal excitability changes during a reaction time task – from the time in between trials, and throughout the foreperiod and response interval. The results show a pattern of increase in excitability that occurs just after the “get ready” signal which…
