Experimental design: each subject underwent a 40-min recording session consisting of four blocks of 9′40″ duration each.

<p>Block 0 (baseline) preceded the application of cTBS 300 pulses over left M1; the remaining three blocks followed the cTBS (label A). Each block comprised of five events: 1) a pause of 1′10″, 2) MEPs recording for 1′10″, 3) EEG recording at rest of 3′00″, 4) a brief pause of 20″, and 5) EEG recording at active state, during the execution of a Reaction Time (RT) task, of 4′00″ duration (label B). Label C illustrated the example of the display presented on the computer screen during the experiment.
