Table 2 Amplitudes of motor evoked potentials (MEP), measured in mV, and duration of the cortical silent period (cSP), measured in ms, before (pre) and after (post) a single session of mental chronometry training (MC) and hand-identification training (HIT) in n = 26 patients. Mean values ± standard deviations are presented. Aff, affected side; unaff, unaffected side
