The concept of “motor cognition” has received growing interest from psychologists and neuroscientists. Both transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and electroencephalography (EEG) have been extensively employed to reveal potential neural markers of these processes. As to the former, studies using single-pulse TMS of the primary motor cortex have grown exponentially, thanks to the possibility of quantifying motor cognition in terms of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs). Similarly, several studies have targeted mu-rhythm desynchronization as measured by EEG with the aim of not just measuring motor cognition but also unveiling its time-course. In my talk, I will review both approaches with the support of experimental studies and two recent meta-analyses performed by my group. Based on this assessment of the field of motor cognition in healthy participants, I will discuss existing limitations and possible avenues for future research in the field.
