Values are presented as the median and interquartile range (IQR). The latter are presented by type (elementary and complex), subtype (myocloniform and non-myocloniform), and topography of the entire motor sequence (focal, segmental, multifocal, and generalized). Significant p-value after post hoc Bonferroni correction are presented; italics* represent significant difference (p < .05). * means p-value < .05, ** means < .01 and *** means < .001.
