Assessing cerebellar-cortical connectivity using concurrent TMS-EEG: a feasibility study

Abstract

This is the first study to systematically assess the feasibility of obtaining TMS-evoked potentials from cerebellar stimulation with concurrent EEG. An innovative control condition using electrical stimulation was modified to mimic the sensory aspects of cerebellar stimulation with a double-cone coil, and a state-of-the art cleaning pipeline was trialled. The extent of artifact contamination in signals from stimulation of a cerebellar and an occipital/parietal control site using two TMS coil types was highlighted.
