In sum, it is clear now that the processing of subliminally presented primes is not restricted to early visual areas but extends up to include the preparation of a task-appropriate motor response.
This attenuation is likely not to be due to an attenuation of lateralised motor and attention-directing responses though, which have been found to be comparable for imagination and execution if pre-cues allow only the selection of response hand but not the preparation of a particular task [14], [15].
The present study therefore used electroencephalographic (EEG) to tease apart the preparation of task intentions and task performance in voluntary task switching.
The play, which runs 100 minutes without an intermission, gives the audience a good sense of the ups and downs of the production process, from the moments of inspired improvisation to the long stretches of tedious preparation inherent in a task that, as Ms. Cummings put it, could take eight hours for a shot that lasts five seconds on screen.
His major task was preparation of a revised edition of the New Testament since he was well aware that the hurried edition of 1516 had many defects.
In preparation of a new outbreak, provincial and local task forces have been implemented to provide recommendations in collaboration with the newly created Public Health Agency of Canada.
In the present study, we investigated ERP lateralizations triggered by effector and movement direction selection during the preparation of reaching movements, in a task where these two movement parameters were specified independently by response precues.
One of the most important tasks for preparation of a future manned mission to Mars is to create a space suit, which ensures efficient and safe operation of the man on the planet surface.
Taken with the finding that CNV amplitude in our study tended to be increased on trials with faster RTs (cf. Lavric et al. 2008), these results suggest that the CNV provides an index of active intentional control and that advance preparation of the stronger task requires more intentional control than advance preparation of the weaker task.
Finally, these differences between measures of global and response-specific preparation indicate that different levels of preparation are at least partly dissociable, with effective preparation of task-related actions providing no guarantee of task performance that is efficient and shielded from interference from competing tasks.
In this way, the European Parliament is confronted with a special task requiring the preparation of an annual report on the work of the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies.
