The paper introduces and validates the TMS-RAT, a reporting tool for TMS studies, showing high inter-rater and test-retest reliability.

This study investigates the role of the primary somatosensory cortex in conscious tactile detection using spTMS and finds that early S1 stimulation reduces tactile sensitivity, suggesting a temporally limited role in perception.

The paper investigates how pain and touch affect corticospinal excitability, finding that pain reduces excitability while tactile inhibition remains unchanged.

The paper reconstructs tactile space from fMRI data and finds that primary somatosensory and motor cortices encode tactile space with perceptual distortions.
