Abstract

Successive magnetic evoked potentials (MEPs) concern varying motor neurons. We investigated whether this MEP-specific source of variability depends on electrode site and size. Amplitude variability (standard deviation) was largest over the center of the hypothenar muscles. Latencies were longer at distal and proximal sites than at the center site. Large electrodes (10 cm2) did not decrease this source of amplitude variability compared with EEG electrodes, in contrast to other sources of variability.
