Plasticity can be induced in human cortex using paired associative stimulation (PAS), which repeatedly and predictably pairs a peripheral electrical stimulus with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to the contralateral motor region. Many studies have reported small or inconsistent effects of PAS. Given that uncertain stimuli can promote learning, the predictable nature of the stimulation in conventional...
Watching others learn a motor task can enhance an observer's own later performance when learning the same motor task. This is thought to be due to activation of the action observation (or mirror neuron) network. Here we show that the effectiveness of plasticity induced in human motor cortex (M1) is also significantly influenced by the nature of prior action observation. In separate sessions, 17 participants...
