Comparison of 4 Methods to Estimate the Resting Motor Threshold Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

Key Points

• The central aim is to evaluate and compare four methods for estimating the resting motor threshold (RMT) using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).
• Comparison of four different estimation methods for RMT.
• Utilization of adaptive threshold-hunting techniques like ML-PEST.
• Assessment of trial efficiency in estimating RMT across methods.
• ML-PEST demonstrated improved efficiency in estimating RMT with fewer trials.
• Adaptive methods showed greater accuracy compared to traditional techniques.
• Support for using efficient methods in both clinical and research settings.
