Fig. 1From: Precise estimation of human corticospinal excitability associated with the levels of motor imagery-related EEG desynchronization extracted by a locked-in amplifier algorithmTask protocol and experimental setup. A: Timing of the paradigm used in the screening session (a) and TMS sessions in Conditions 2–5 (b). B: Experimental system of TMS sessions in Conditions 2–5. In brief, TMS was applied immediately after instantaneous ERDs calculated by the online FFT or LIA algorithm reached 35% or 70% during motor imagery tasks. ERD, event-related desynchronization; FFT, fast Fourier transformation; LIA; lock-in amplifier; MEP, motor evoked potential; TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulationBack to article page
