Different effects of conditioning startling acoustic stimuli (SAS) on TMS-induced responses at rest and during sustained voluntary

A conditioning startling acoustic stimulus (SAS) can cause transient suppression of transcranial magnetic stimulus (TMS)-induced motor evoked potential (MEP) at rest. However, it is still unknown whether this phenomenon persists during voluntary contraction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was...
