Cross-modal properties of the primary somatosensory cortex: a by-product of Hebbian association learning
Background:
paired associative stimulation
Touch anticipation mediates cross-modal Hebbian plasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex
Paired associative stimulation (PAS) protocols can be used to induce Hebbian plasticity in the human brain. A modified, cross-modal version, of the PAS (cross-modal PAS, cm-PAS) has been recently developed. The cm-PAS consists in the repetitive pairings of a transcranial magnetic
