Declarations

:

: All procedures performed in studies involving human participants were in accordance with the ethical standards of the institutional and/or national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments or comparable ethical standards. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants included in the study. Ethical approval for this study was not required. According to the guidelines of the German Research Foundations (DFG) an Ethical approval is only necessary if the persons being studied are expected to take risks, if the study is associated with high (physical or emotional) stress and/or if the persons being studied are not fully informed about the objectives and procedures of the study; in studies with patients or when using (f)MRI and electrical or magnetic stimulation (e.g. TMS) (). The local ethic review board of the University of Regensburg deemed ethics approval unnecessary. We communicated all considerations necessary to assess the question of the ethical legitimacy of the study.
