TMS Conditions

TMS Mode TMS Regime TMS Pulses Train Duration Frequency IPI Coil Handle Relative to Target Gyrus Coil Surface Relative to Scalp
α-TMS active rhythmic n = 5 4 × IAF cycle IAF fixed to 1000/IAF perpendicular tangential
α-TMS90° active rhythmic n = 5 4 × IAF cycle IAF fixed to 1000/IAF parallel tangential
ar-TMS active arrhythmic n = 5 4 × IAF cycle NA jittered by 0.7 × IPI, 0.8 × IPI, 1.2 × IPI, 1.3 × IPI perpendicular tangential
α-TMSsham inactive rhythmic n = 5 4 × IAF cycle IAF fixed to 1000/IAF NA radial

The following abbreviations are used: IPI, interpulse interval; IAF, individual α-frequency; NA, not applicable. Note: in the formula for calculating individual jitter in ar-TMS, IPI refers to individual IPIs of the rhythmic regimes (= 1000/IAF). The presentation order of the four resulting, variable IPIs was randomized within each trial.
