a Sequence-tapping task, performed on a laptop using a portable numpad keyboard. b Training structure. On the first training day, we started by performing neurophysiological investigations using the SICI paradigm, assumed to reflect GABAergic intracortical inhibition within the motor cortex. Immediately after, we provided a thorough explanation of how to prepare the equipment for motor training and stimulation, as detailed in our previous report (Maceira-Elvira et al., 2020). Participants performed the first training session at our research laboratory and the remaining nine days of training independently at home. After the tenth day of training, participants returned to our laboratory for post-training TMS measurements.
