Publication: Startle activation is additive with voluntary cortical activation irrespective of stimulus modality

, , , , , 0

  PDF    This paper investigated whether an additive model of activation or a horse-race model would be a better fit for data showing that reaction times are facilitated to a greater degree than would be expected when a startling stimulus presented after the typical “go” signal. Abstract: When a startling acoustic…

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

, , , 0

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…
