Corticospinal Transmission During rTMS: Motor Unit Activity from Surface EMG

A neuroscience project characterizing how repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation inputs are transmitted through corticospinal pathways to hand muscles. The dataset includes motor unit activity decomposed from high-density surface electromyograms collected from the thenar muscles. The project was authored by INcEPTION and last updated on May 20, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling corticospinal transmission linearity based on rTMS frequency and intensity inputs.
• Investigating frequency selectivity in corticospinal pathways using oscillatory inputs.
• Tracking motor unit recruitment patterns during rTMS stimulation.
• Validating motor unit decomposition algorithms on high-density surface EMG data.

Strengths

• Data size is 401.0 MB, indicating a medium-scale dataset.
• Includes motor unit activity decomposed using a referenced PubMed algorithm.
• Available under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
