Results in light gray color are those obtained from untransformed measured (even though they showed non-normal or heteroscedastic distributions). 95%CI: 95% confidence intervals; cSP, contralateral silent period; CV, coefficient of variation; ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient; LogN, data transformed using a natural logarithm; MEPs, motor evoke potentials; MSO, maximal stimulator output; NA, not applicable (for log transformed outcomes); RC, recruitment curve; rMT, resting motor threshold; SDC, smallest detectable change; SEMeas, standard error of the measurement.
