Effect of motor process-related priming via repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation on embodiment perception during mirror visual feedback: a pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Non-invasive brain stimulation has been combined with mirror visual feedback (MVF) as a priming strategy to enhance therapeutic efficacy. However, a superior combined effect is hindered by the lack of emphasis on MVF-relevant embodiment perception.

Objective

This study assessed the priming effect of repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) over the primary motor cortex (M1) and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) on embodiment perception during MVF.

Methods

In the experiment, 15 healthy participants were required to complete tasks using their left hand while keeping their right hand static behind a mirror. They first received excitatory TMS over the left M1 or dlPFC, or sham-TMS in random order during three trial rounds and then performed three
