  "summary": "The inter-trial interval (ITI) of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can modulate motor-evoked potential (MEP) amplitude and may thus confound assessments of corticospinal excitability. We tested whether this effect depends on the ITI duration per se or the associated temporal predictability and whether intracortical inhibitory processes mediate these effects on. In 26 healthy participants,…",
