Behavioural task. Each trial started with the appearance of a red fixation point and gray response dots on either side of the fixation. One second after the onset of the trial, the simultaneous trains of randomly-timed tactile pulses were presented to both hands for 2.5 seconds. Once the trains stopped, the fixation point turned green to signal that participants should give their response by moving their gaze to the respective response dot (either left or right) displayed on the screen. The chosen response dot darkened when the response was registered. In the main experiment, the first pulse of the dTMS (10 Hz, 110% of rMT) was delivered either 1.25 seconds (T1) or 2.25 seconds (T2) into the tactile stimulation. The mean MNI coordinates across participants for the left FEF stimulation group were (−27; −4; 56), and for the right FEF stimulation group were (30; −1; 56). Individual stimulation sites are presented in the inset (red dots for the left and green dots for the right FEF stimulation group). MRIcroGL software was used (http://www.mccauslandcenter.sc.edu/mricrogl/) for visualization of the stimulation sites.
