Can Recordings of Tongue Motor‐Evoked Potentials Be Improved? Comparison of Two Electrode Types and Their Reliability
Compared to surface electrodes, suction electrodes improved signal quality as indicated by lower rMT and higher MEP_Amp. However, both electrode types exhibited substantial intra- and inter-session variability. Although suction electrodes enhance TMS signal quality, the poor test-retest reliability of tongue MEPs currently limits their utility as biomarkers. Methodological refinements are needed to further improve reliability in TMS-based tongue assessments.
