DEVICE

rTMS

Magnetic stimulation will be given using a hand-held figure-of-eight coil with an median winding diameter of 70 mm or a cone coil (Magstim Co., Whitland, Dyfed, UK) connected to one Magstim Rapid2 Package (Magstim Co., UK). The figure-of-eight coil will be placed tangentially to the scalp with the handle pointing backwards, which is thought to preferentially activate the corticospinal cells trans-synaptically (Kaneko et al., 1996), while the cone coil will be placed along the anterioposterior axis to induce a posterior-to-anterior current in the cortex.
