Paired associative stimulation of the auditory system: a proof-of-principle study.

<h4>Background</h4>Paired associative stimulation (PAS) consisting of repeated application of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) pulses and contingent exteroceptive stimuli has been shown to induce neuroplastic effects in the motor and somatosensory system. The objective was to inve...
