Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this interventional study is to understand the neural and behavioural bases of action simulation and its links with action execution in healthy volunteers.

Hypotheses: Action simulation recruits neural networks that are largely similar to those activated by action execution, with some differences to avoid executing a movement while observing/imagining it.

Participants will be tested with TMS while doing motor imagery or action observation.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

For some experiments, all participants will take part in all experimental conditions. For other experiments, participants will be randomly assigned to different groups with different conditions (e.g. TMS sham vs. TMS test).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Sham

Intervention Type DEVICE

Participants will be asked to perform various behavioral tasks involving the use of action observation or motor imagery. During these tasks, transcranial magnetic stimulation will be used.
