Experiment
The experiment consists of an unilateral median nerve stimulation conducted in a MEG laboratory with an Elekta Triux (Megin, Finland) scanner. The subject is a right-handed 46 years old male.
- The stimulation signal was a square-wave pulse with 2Hz frequency and duration of 0.2ms.
- An ISI (inter-stimulus interval) of 500ms with a variation of ±20ms in order to be able to average out time-locked noise to the stimulation, while remaining unnoticeable by the subject.
- The stimulation was performed on the left hand/wrist, for two minutes, with a Digitimer DS7A stimulator. An electrode was placed on each current value were tuned to match the motor threshold of the subject on the stimulated hand, with a result of 10~12mA approximately.
- Recordings were performed with a 1kHz sampling rate. Continuous HPI was disabled during these recordings. High-pass filters were set to DC for MEG channels and 0.03Hz for EEG channels.
All files underwent a MaxFilter (version 2.3.13) tsss post-processing.
