This Transcortical Magnetic Stimulation set up will support my general research program which focuses on "Cold-induced decrement in voluntary and involuntary muscle activity, and influence of the head on thermoregulation and heat transfer." Based on previous observations and discoveries, the research program for the next cycle looks for mechanisms and functional implications for the effects of cold on voluntary and involuntary (i.e., shivering) muscular exercise. The proposed paired-stimulus magnetic stimulation set up will allow more detailed determinations of central neural influences on muscular work and shivering. Our current single pulse magnetic stimulator allows general conclusions about the effect of a perturbation (such as core or muscular cooling) on the total central control (i.e., increase in excitability, general fatigue etc.). The paired-stimulus magnetic stimulator will allow the identification of specific facilitation and/or inhibitory mechanisms for the decrease in performance of voluntary muscle activity or involuntarily shivering.

这个经皮层磁刺激设置将支持我的一般研究计划，重点是“自愿和不自愿肌肉活动的冷诱导减量，以及头部对体温调节和热传递的影响。“根据以前的观察和发现，下一个周期的研究计划寻找寒冷对自愿和非自愿（即，颤抖）肌肉锻炼。所提出的成对刺激磁刺激设置将允许更详细地确定中枢神经对肌肉工作和颤抖的影响。 我们目前的单脉冲磁刺激器允许关于扰动（例如核心或肌肉冷却）对总中央控制（即，兴奋性增加、全身疲劳等）。 配对刺激磁刺激器将允许识别针对自主肌肉活动或非自主颤抖的性能降低的特定促进和/或抑制机制。
