Emotion identified correctly (%) during triple-pulse rTMS for the three conditions

<p>No significant differences were found on percentages correct between the three sites, fronto-parietal operculum (FPO), anterior superior temporal gyrus (aSTG) and POz (EEG electrode site).</p

Reaction times during triple-pulse rTMS for the three conditions

<p>No significant differences were observed between fronto-parietal operculum (FPO) and anterior superior temporal gyrus (aSTG) with regard to reaction times. Reaction times on POz were significantly different from both FPO and aSTG. Reaction times after triple-pulse rTMS at 1300ms after onset of the sentence were significantly higher than at all other time-points.</p

This figure shows the two TMS locations that are targeted in the present study drawn in MRIcro, the fronto-parietal operculum and the anterior superior temporal gyrus.

Reaction times on emotional prosody task during triple-pulse rTMS at different time-point at the right anterior superior temporal gyrus (aSTG, n = 14 subjects), the fronto-parietal operculum (FPO, n = 14 subjects) and at the POz-EEG location (n = 10 subjects) for detection of emotional intonations.

<p>A: reaction times for perception of fearful intonations, B: reaction times for perception of sad intonations and C: reaction times for detection of happy intonations.</p
