Feasibility of automated analysis and inter-examiner variability of cortical silent period induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Highlights: [•] Transcranial magnetic stimulation induced silent period (cSP) is commonly analysed manually. [•] A new automated routine for cSP analysis was compared with manually analysed cSPs. [•] Data from a large-population of healthy subjects were reanalysed by two of the authors. [•] Inter-examiner effect in cSP analysis was found quite large. [•] Automated routine was found valid and at least as reliable as the manual analysis. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
