↵All statistically significant main effects and interactions (repeated-measures ANOVA) are indicated in the table by an asterisk (*p < 0.05). In addition to the significant interaction between block and TMS condition reported, for 30 Hz TMS patterns and its associated non-frequency-specific bursts: perceptual sensitivity was higher for targets displayed to the right than to the left visual field (F_(1,12) = 10.98, p = 0.006) and for frequency-specific (or uniform) blocks than for non-frequency-specific (or non-uniform) blocks (F_(1,12) = 6.33, p = 0.027). For the 50 Hz TMS pattern (and their corresponding non-frequency-specific or non-uniform bursts), in addition to the significant interaction between block and TMS condition reported, response criterion was more relaxed for targets displayed to the left than to the right visual field (F_(1,13) = 8.07, p = 0.014) and with active than sham TMS bursts (F_(1,13) = 7.95, p = 0.014).
