VETA
VETA records, processes, and analyzes electromyography (EMG) data during transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) experiments to study corticospinal excitability.
Key Features:
- Simultaneous EMG Recording and TMS Integration: Supports concurrent acquisition of electromyography signals during transcranial magnetic stimulation experiments.
- Automated Offline EMG Processing: Performs automated offline processing of EMG datasets for analysis of stimulation responses.
- Interactive Data Visualization: Provides visualization tools for examining EMG signals recorded during TMS experiments.
- Standardized EMG Data Output: Produces EMG datasets in a standardized format to support reproducible analysis and data sharing.
Scientific Applications:
- Corticospinal Excitability Studies: Analyzes EMG responses to transcranial magnetic stimulation to investigate corticospinal pathway function.
- Motor System Neuroscience: Supports analysis of motor-evoked potentials and neural excitability in human and animal studies.
- Neurophysiology Data Analysis: Enables processing and interpretation of EMG recordings collected during neurostimulation experiments.
Methodology:
VETA integrates electromyography recording with transcranial magnetic stimulation experiments, acquires EMG signals during stimulation, performs automated offline processing, and visualizes EMG data for analysis of corticospinal excitability.
