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.
