Although magnetic neural stimulation has many advantages over electrical neural
stimulation, its main disadvantages are higher energy requirement and poor stimulation …

Objective To investigate interhemispheric inhibition (IHI) between the facial primary motor
cortices (fM1s). Methods IHI was investigated in 10 healthy subjects using paired-pulse TMS …

Methods To this end, we stimulated the missing-hand region in 10 congenital one-handers
(OH) and the non-dominant hand area in 10 two-handed controls (CT), and measured EMG …

Humans have the ability to mentally examine speech. This covert form of speech production
is often accompanied by sensory (eg, auditory) percepts. However, the cognitive and neural …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), as we use it today, was developed in the 1980s,
and already in the 1990s, it was clear it would became an essential tool to study human …

Motor imagery refers to the phenomenon of imagining performing an action without action
execution. Motor imagery and motor execution are assumed to share a similar underlying …

Sustained limb motor activity has been used as a therapeutic tool for improving rehabilitation
outcomes and is thought to be mediated by neuroplastic changes associated with activity …

The overarching aim of this thesis was to enhance our understanding of early corticomotor
reorganisation in response to novel stimuli (motor skill training and acute pain). To achieve …

Inner speech is a common phenomenon that influences motivation, problem-solving and self-
awareness. Motor imagery of speech refers to the simulation of speech that gives rise to the …

The global population with dementia is rapidly increasing around the world. The major risk
factor for dementia is aging. There is currently no treatment available and the cost of …
