Comparison of the resting motor threshold (rMT) of each subject to absolute intensity (power levels 1, 2, and 3) of the stimulator output used

Power level 1a Power level 2b Power level 3c Mapping phase intensity (85%)d
Subject 1 70 1.2 1.4 1.2
Subject 2 78 1.1 1.3 1.1
Subject 3 66 1.3 1.5 1.3

a

Power level 1 equals rMT, and is expressed as % of magnetic stimulator output.

b

Power level 2 represents an intermediate intensity between rMT and 100% of the stimulator output, and is expressed relative to rMT (i.e. rMT times).

c

Power level 3 represents 100% of the stimulator output, and is expressed relative to rMT (i.e. rMT times).

d

Mapping phase intensity is expressed relative to rMT (i.e. rMT times).
