Abstract
Neuroplasticity is believed to be critical for neurorehabilitation. One way to assess plasticity is to use TMS to measure corticospinal excitability (CSE). Whereas both stimulus response (SR) curves and CSE maps provide more information than does a single set of MEPs at fixed intensity, their use is restricted by the lengthy acquisition time required to acquire the data (typically 15+ min). This acquisition time is longer than a participant’s ability to maintain attention and it is too time consuming for use in the clinical setting. As a result, these techniques have been restricted to the laboratory environment.
