The study investigates the capabilities of peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS) as a tool for creating somatosensory sensations of various submodalities and analyzing the dynamics of bioelectric signals of the brain (using encephalography (EEG)) in healthy participants and participants with upper limb amputations. During the experiment, the participants' subjective sensations and EEG activity are recorded in response to magnetic pulses of varying intensity. In addition, the continuous PMS stimulation protocol and its effect on phantom sensations in participants with amputations will be tested for subsequent implementation in clinical practice.
