 note = {This study aimed to investigate whether the effect of mental practice (motor imagery training) can be enhanced by providing neurofeedback based on transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-inducedmotor evoked potentials (MEP). Twenty-four healthy, right-handed subjects were enrolled in this study. The subjects were randomly allocated into two groups: a group that was given correct TMS feedback (Real-FB group) and a group that was given randomized false TMS feedback (Sham-FB group). The subjects imagined pushing the switch with just timing, when the target circle overlapped a cross at the center of the computer monitor. In the Real-FB group, feedback was provided to the subjects based on the MEP amplitude measured in the trial immediately preceding motor imagery. In contrast, the subjects of the Sham-FB group were provided with a feedback value that was independent of the MEP amplitude. TMS was applied when the target, moving from right to left, overlapped the cross at the center of the screen, and the MEP amplitude was measured. The MEP was recorded in the right first dorsal interosseous muscle. We evaluated the pre-mental practice and post-mental practice motor performance in both groups. As a result, a significant difference was observed in the percentage change of error values between the Real-FB group and the Sham-FB group. Furthermore, the MEP was significantly different between the groups in the 4th and 5th sets. Therefore, it was suggested that TMS-induced MEP-based neurofeedback might enhance the effect of mental practice., 長崎大学学位論文 学位記番号:博(医歯薬)甲第1336号 学位授与年月日:令和3年3月22日, Author: Daiki Matsuda, Takefumi Moriuchi, Yuta Ikio, Wataru Mitsunaga, Kengo Fujiwara, Moemi Matsuo, Jiro Nakamura, Tomotaka Suzuki, Kenichi Sugawara and Toshio Higashi, Citation: Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 15, 637401; 2021, Nagasaki University (長崎大学), 博士(医学) (2021-03-22)},
