Figure Lengend Snippet: Subject receiving taVNS (arrow marks the placement of the stimulator; single 500 ms bursts, 30 Hz, pulse width = 0.3 ms, intensity just below pain threshold between 0.1 and 5.0 mA) during the blinking visual cue for the onset of extension movements on the InMotion ARM ® robot. During each 1 h session patients performed 1,024 active-assist center-out clock movements of the shoulder and elbow, and received stimulation during a total of 256 extensions movements (right = 9 o’clock, 10 o’clock, 12 o’clock, 2 o’clock; left = 10 o’clock, 12 o’clock, 2 o’clock, 3 o’clock).
