The motor system displays strong changes in neural activity during action preparation. In the
past decades, several techniques, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) …

Interactive behaviors rely on the operation of several processes allowing the control of
actions, including their selection, withholding, and cancellation. The corticospinal system …

Besides relying heavily on sensory and reinforcement feedback, motor skill learning may
also depend on the level of motivation experienced during training. Yet, how motivation by …

Dual-site transcranial magnetic stimulation has been widely employed to investigate the
influence of cortical structures on the primary motor cortex. Here, we leveraged this …

The primary motor cortex (M1) is broadly acknowledged for its crucial role in executing
voluntary movements. Yet, its contributions to cognitive and sensory functions remain largely …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applied over the primary motor cortex (M1), elicits
motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) in contralateral limb muscles which are valuable indicators …

Decisions about actions typically involve a period of deliberation that ends with the
commitment to a choice and the motor processes overtly expressing that choice. Previous …

Humans and other animals are able to adjust their speed–accuracy trade-off (SAT) at will
depending on the urge to act, favoring either cautious or hasty decision policies in different …

Many behaviors require choosing between conflicting options competing against each other
in visuomotor areas. Such choices can benefit from top-down control processes engaging …

By applying transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over primary motor cortex (M1) to elicit
motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) in muscles of the contralateral hand during reaction time …
