Cognitive load modulates cortical excitability in the human prefrontal cortex

This paper uses TMS-EEG to show that prefrontal cortex excitability changes with cognitive load during a multi-source interference task, linking it to theta power and showing region-specific effects.

The Effect of Musical Groove on Sensorimotor Network Cortical Dynamics during Active Tapping and Passive Listening

This study examines how musical groove affects sensorimotor network cortical dynamics during active tapping and passive listening, finding stronger micro rhythm suppression during active tapping and an effect of groove level.

Noninvasive profiling of input-output excitability curves in human prefrontal cortex

This paper characterizes human prefrontal cortex excitability using noninvasive TMS and EEG, finding sigmoidal input-output curves in 57% of participants and strong correlations between TMS-evoked potentials and motor-evoked potentials.

Sensory Entrained TMS (seTMS) enhances motor cortex plasticity

This study shows that sensory entrained iTBS (se-iTBS) significantly enhances motor-evoked potentials compared to standard iTBS, with effects lasting at least 30 minutes.

Sensory Entrained TMS (seTMS) enhances motor cortex excitability

This study introduces seTMS, a method that enhances motor cortex excitability by synchronizing TMS pulses with sensorimotor alpha rhythms using musical rhythms, resulting in larger motor-evoked potentials.

Real-time optimization to enhance noninvasive cortical excitability assessment in the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

This paper develops a real-time closed-loop optimization method to enhance TMS-EEG measurements of prefrontal cortex excitability by reducing artifacts and increasing signal magnitude.

Effects of auditory noise intensity and color on the dynamics of upright stance

This study examines how different auditory noise intensities and structures affect postural control dynamics, finding reduced variability only at high intensity.

Reliability of the TMS-evoked potential in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

This study evaluates the reliability of TMS-evoked potentials in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex across different anatomical targets and analytical parameters.

Neural effects of TMS trains on the human prefrontal cortex

This study investigates how TMS trains affect neural activity in the human prefrontal cortex using noninvasive measurements and finds no evidence of amplitude changes but detects non-local and phase-based neural effects.

Reliability of resting-state EEG modulation by continuous and intermittent theta burst stimulation of the primary motor cortex: A sham-controlled study

This study examines the reliability of resting-state EEG modulation by cTBS and iTBS on the primary motor cortex, finding no significant group-level effects and low-to-moderate reliability across sessions.

Mapping cortical excitability in the human dorsolateral prefrontal cortex

The paper investigates how TMS location and angle affect early TEPs in the dlPFC and identifies optimal targets for enhancing EL-TEP responses.

Experimental Suppression of TMS-EEG Sensory Potentials

This paper introduces a novel sensory suppression protocol called ATTENUATE for suprathreshold TMS to dlPFC, showing it reduces sensory EEG responses and perception more effectively than standard masking.

Modality-specific frequency band activity during neural entrainment to auditory and visual rhythms

The paper investigates modality-specific beta band neural activity during rhythm perception, finding distinct patterns for auditory and visual rhythms.

Dorsal Premotor Contributions to Auditory Rhythm Perception: Causal Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Studies of Interval, Tempo, and Phase

This study uses TMS to show that left dorsal premotor cortex (dPMC) causally affects interval and tempo perception but not phase perception.
