Stimulation and recording conditions. Somatosensory stimuli were delivered to the median nerve at the wrist, while the hand was in four different positions: ‘ultra-far’, ‘far’, ‘near’, and ‘ultra-near’ (first column). Stimuli were delivered to the hand ipsilateral to the TN side (second and third columns), or to the hand contralateral to the TN side (fourth and fifth columns). The hand-blink reflex (HBR) was recorded using surface EMG from the eye ipsilateral to the stimulated hand (second and fifth columns) and from the eye contralateral to the stimulated hand (third and fourth column). This 4 (positions) × 2 (stimulation sides) × 2 (recording sides) design resulted in 16 HBR average responses for each patient.
