Excitability of the primary motor cortex increases more strongly with slow- than with normal-speed presentation of actions.

The aim of the present study was to investigate how the speed of observed action affects the excitability of the primary motor cortex (M1), as assessed by the size of motor evoked potentials (MEPs) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).Eighteen healthy subjects watched a video clip of a...
