Official Title: TMS as a Tool for the Evaluation of Neuromodulatory Effects of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation

Brief Summary: Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has been investigated as a potential treatment for epilepsy with inconsistent results. The combination of transcranial magnetic stimulation with electromyography (TMS-EMG) and electroencephalography (TMS-EEG) allows to investigate the neuromodulatory effect of interventions such as tVNS by evaluating changes in motor evoked potentials (MEPs) and TMS-evoked potentials (TEPs). The goal of this study is to objectively evaluate the effect of tVNS on cortical excitability…
