Influence of stimulus intensity on the TMS induced ipsilateral silent period – Comprehensive findings from a large healthy cohort

Key Points

The ipsilateral silent period shows significant variation with different stimulation intensities, indicating a strong link.
Data from the largest cohort analyzed reveals distinct recommendations based on stimulation intensity adjustments.
Systematic evaluation of stimulation intensity impacts across a large, healthy cohort enhances understanding of TMS effects.
Findings call for adjustments in future TMS studies to accurately capture the influence of stimulus intensity.

Abstract

This first systematic evaluation of stimulation intensity on iSPs in the largest cohort to date provides recommendations for future TMS studies.
