Episodes of periodic limb movements were defined as leg movements with an amplitude increase of 8 μV above the baseline value, a duration of 0.5 10 seconds, a period length between two consecutive movements of 5 90 seconds, and a minimum of four consecutive movements [9].
A periodic limb movement was defined as periodic contraction of the lower legs, either unilateral or bilateral, with a series of four consecutive movements separated by 4 to 90 seconds, with each movement lasting between 0.5 and 5 seconds and not associated with respiratory events.
If this were the case, then the subpopulations of neurons engaged during consecutive movements offset by 90° should overlap to a large extent, causing a level of BOLD adaptation intermediate between that observed in the 0° and 180° conditions.
Skilled performance is characterized by responses emitted with brief interresponse intervals, smooth transitions between responses, and efficient coordination of consecutive movements so that a whole sequence is conducted in a predictable manner (e.g. [ 22]).
The scope of simulation covers the first three stages of the tool path, each consisting of two consecutive movements.
For the analysis of primary outcome results of Test and Retest, the mean of five consecutive movements was calculated, together with the Standard Deviation (SD) and 95% confidence intervals.
In Eq. (1), the ith observed and measured motor primitive m i is defined in terms of its consecutive movements with execution time t i '.
Each test consisted of five consecutive movements.
In contrast, when consecutive movements have different directions, more than 1 subpopulation of neurons should be activated resulting in attenuated BOLD adaptation compared to the 0° condition.
Say the Betta makes two consecutive movements side to side, and then swims upward 85 percent of the time.
