Primed Action: Preserving Agency while Accelerating Reaction Time via Subthreshold Brain Stimulation

While prior work in neuroscience confirmed that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can shorten the onset of muscle activity, the implications of this reaction-time speedup have not been explored in interactive systems. We present Primed Action, a novel interface concept that leverages this type of TMS-based faste…
