α-Band Electroencephalographic Activity over Occipital Cortex Indexes Visuospatial Attention Bias and Predicts Visual Target Detection (2006, result): “This overall advantage for left target processing replicates previous results obtained using an identical target detection task in another study sample (Hilgetag et al., 2001), and might be attributable to “pseudoneglect,” the natural tendency of neurologically normal subjects to attend more easily ”
Transcranial magnetic stimulation: new insights into representational cortical plasticity (2002, neutral): “In contrast with the relative lack of behavioural effects on the motor system, several authors have described lasting effects of rTMS on cognitive functions in healthy volunteers (Kosslyn et al. 1999; Hilgetag et al. 2001).”
On the Role of Prestimulus Alpha Rhythms over Occipito-Parietal Areas in Visual Input Regulation: Correlation or Causation? (2010, methodology): “Finally, targets were presented at threshold sizes (after individual titration before the experiment, same procedure as used in Hilgetag et al., 2001; Thut et al., 2006), avoiding floor or ceiling of perception and therefore ensuring that both TMSinduced suppression and enhancement of target…”
The plastic human brain cortex. (2005, background): “…simple movement task can be maintained by rapid operational remapping of motor representations, recruitment of additional motor areas, and task-related changes in cortico-cortical and cortico-muscular coherence (Strens et al. 2002, Chen et al. 2003, Lee et al. 2003, Oliviero et al. 2003).”
Enhancement of human cognitive performance using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) (2013, background): “Another use of 1Hz down-modulation is to produce behavioral enhancements through release from cross-hemispheric inhibition (Hilgetag et al., 2001; Thut et al., 2005, Kobayashi et al., 2010).”
Executive Brake Failure following Deactivation of Human Frontal Lobe (2006, methodology): “Participants undertook the stop-signal task after receiving 15 min of TMS to the right IFG (pars opercularis), MFG, or angular gyrus (AG) (Figure 2A; Table 1). TMS protocols of similar duration have been shown to suppress cortical excitability, thus temporarily deactivating the stimulated region (Si”
Brain oscillatory substrates of visual short-term memory capacity. (2009, background): “However, it was not completely clear from this experiment which mechanism was responsible for the alternation of memory capacity: it could be entrainment of alpha activity by 10 Hz rTMS (as shown in a recent study [40]), or alternatively, it could be competitive interaction between hemispheres [41] ”
Preconditioning of Low-Frequency Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation with Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: Evidence for Homeostatic Plasticity in the Human Motor Cortex (2004, methodology): “…effect of 1 Hz rTMS on cortical excitability has been used to induce a temporary cortical dysfunction in healthy subjects (Kosslyn et al., 1999; Hilgetag et al., 2001; Muellbacher et al., 2002; Knecht et al., 2003) or, presumably by normalizing increased levels of excitability, to induce…”
Human neural systems for face recognition and social communication. (2002, methodology): “Studies of patients with lesions or studies of normal volunteers with virtual lesions induced by methods such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (e.g., Hilgetag et al 2001) are necessary to address the question of whether a region is a necessary participant.”
Hemisphere-specific parietal contributions to the interplay between working memory and attention (2021, background): “The influence of parietal TMS during visual attention and WM depends on the visual hemifield of the relevant information (Blankenburg et al., 2010; Sauseng et al., 2009; Hamidi et al., 2008; Hilgetag et al., 2001; Walsh et al., 1999).”
