Experimental procedures. (a) Flowchart of the protocol for healthy volunteers (HVs). (b) Flowchart of the protocol for congenital mirror movement patients. (c) Protocol setup of the paired‐pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The test pulse (TP) occurred 300 ms after S1 appearance. The conditioning pulse (CP) occurred at different delays depending on the stimulated area on the right hemisphere (interstimulus interval [ISI]). Protocol setup of the continuous theta‐burst stimulation (cTBS/SHAM) procedure that was only applied in HVs. (d) Schematic representation of the delayed response task. (e) the timing of the TP is represented with an example of the EMG trace recorded in the right FDI of a HVs during the delayed‐response task involving the preparation and execution of a unimanual right hand movement. Bi = bimanual; Uni‐R = unimanual‐right [Color figure can be viewed at http://wileyonlinelibrary.com]
