Investigating the Role of the Primary Motor Cortex in the StartReact Effect Using Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation

It is well-established that the presentation of a startling acoustic stimulus (SAS) simultaneous with the go-signal in a simple reaction time (RT) task results in significant RT reductions, while leaving movement kinematics essentially unaltered. While this phenomenon, termed the StartReact effect,...
