Over the last three decades, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has gained popularity
as a tool to modulate human somatosensation. However, the effects of different stimulation …

Theta burst stimulation (TBS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that can
modulate neural activity. The effect of TBS on regions beyond the motor cortex remains …

Neuroplasticity is essential to prevent clinical worsening despite continuing neuronal loss in
several brain diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS). The precise nature of the …

Optimal limb coordination requires efficient transmission of somatosensory information to the
sensorimotor cortex. The primary somatosensory cortex (S1) is frequently damaged by …

When visual input is ambiguous, perception spontaneously alternates between
interpretations: bistable perception. Studies have identified two distinct sites near the right …

Introdução: A dor é uma experiência multidimensional, desagradável, que envolve não só
um componente sensorial mediada pelo córtex Somatossensorial Primário (SI), mas …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) involves the application of time-pulsed magnetic
fields to cortical tissue through a coil positioned near the head. TMS is widely used for …

Multistable perception describes the spontaneous fluctuation between two or more
perceptual states when sensory input is ambiguous. An example hereof is bistability, which …

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) involves the application of time-pulsed magnetic
fields to cortical tissue using a coil located near the head. In the first part of the thesis, we …
