The minimal number of TMS trials required for the reliable assessment of corticospinal excitability, short interval intracortical inhibition, and intracortical facilitation

•Averaging less than 20 consecutive TMS-evoked MEPs gives highly variable results.•More than 25 paired-pulse stimuli are required for highly reliable SICI estimates.•After 30 successive pulses, ICF measures stabilize with low inter-session reliability. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)-induced...
