Volunteers will undergo various peripheral nerve stimulations (electric, electromagnetic, and temporal interference) to evaluate each method's sensitivity. The main objective is to examine the relationship between nerve activation and coil placement relative to the nerve, as well as how different coil types influence maximal nerve activation.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric and electromagnetic stimulation | Device | Application of electromagnetic and electric stimulation using coils of different designs and electrodes to assess peripheral nerve sensitivity. The stimulation is momentary, non-therapeutic, and performed for basic science research purposes |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Maximum nerve activation response to electromagnetic stimulation with different coils | Maximum of the measured signals (muscle contraction from electromyography (EMG) and finger movement from accelerometer) obtained across all stimulation positions at a given stimulation intensity for each coil type. This reflects the relative sensitivity of peripheral nerves to electromagnetic stimulation with different coil designs. | Day 1 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Spatial range of nerve activation with electromagnetic coils | Distance around the stimulation position yielding the maximum response (E1), within which the measured signals (muscle contraction and finger movement) remain at least 50% of the maximum, across all coil positions at a given stimulation intensity. | Day 1 |
