The goal of this interventional study is to understand the neural and behavioural bases of action simulation and its links with action execution in healthy volunteers.
Hypotheses: Action simulation recruits neural networks that are largely similar to those activated by action execution, with some differences to avoid executing a movement while observing/imagining it.
Participants will be tested with TMS while doing motor imagery or action observation.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation | Experimental | For some experiments, all participants will take part in all experimental conditions. For other experiments, participants will be randomly assigned to different groups with different conditions (e.g. TMS sham vs. TMS test). |

| Name | Type | Description | Arm Group Labels | Other Names |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Sham | Device | Participants will be asked to perform various behavioral tasks involving the use of action observation or motor imagery. During these tasks, transcranial magnetic stimulation will be used. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Evoked Potential (MEP) | Evoked motor potentials will be measured throughout the experiment using surface electrodes on different muscles to measure changes in corticospinal excitability. | For the duration of the participants' visit to the laboratory (max 2h30) |
