Zusammenfassung

Objective: The intensity of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is typically adjusted by changing the capacitor voltage of the stimulator, while the duration of the TMS pulse is fixed. Here we examined the influence of two different pulse durations on several physiological parameters obtained with single pulse TMS. Methods: A monophasic Magstim Bistim2 stimulator setup was used discharging either one stimulator or both simultaneously, thereby increasing the pulse duration by approximately 1.4 fold. For either pulse duration we measured in 12 healthy volunteers resting and active motor thresholds (RMT, AMT),…
