Figure 4. Specific effect of TMS in the superordinate task (Experiment #2).

Figure 4

For each type of cues, the relative TMS effect obtained for the control site was subtracted from the TMS effect obtained for the three targeted sites (PMd: dorsal premotor cortex, PB: posterior part of Broca's area, AB: anterior part of Broca's area), allowing us to calculate a “specific TMS effect” (see Methods for detail). A positive value indicates that TMS over one of these targets led to an increase in RT when compared to the TMS effect observed for the control site, a negative value indicates a decrease in RT. Significant “specific TMS effects” were found following PMd and AB virtual lesions, leading, respectively, to a decrease in RT for the INTER cues and an increase in RT for the INIT cues.
