The set-up investigated the effect of MNSI on short-interval intracortical inhibition (SICI) and intracortical facilitation (ICF). CS2TMS and CS10TMS were set at 80 % of the resting motor threshold. Conditions 2A to 2D assessed the effects of SICI, ICF and MNSI on a 1 mV test MEP. In conditions 2E to 2J the test stimulus intensity was increased in order to produce a 1 mV test MEP in the presence of CS200MNS(1 mV(CS200)).
