Later, a visual cue was given to guide the subject to execute the corresponding imagination of hand movement over a period of 4 s.
A lot of times you're given something or you're given a subject to execute on, and you have a very short time period to do it.
Offline trainings were employed to teach the subjects to execute corresponding mental tasks, such as left/right hand motor imagery.
Furthermore, other investigations [8], [42], using a motor imagery paradigm, asked subjects to execute or to imagine horizontal and vertical single-joint arm pointing movements, and showed that movement durations were very similar for both conditions.
In this way open-loop conditions cause subjects to execute actions using an allocentric frame of reference via the memory of the ventral stream, and they argue that it is this that causes actions to be influenced by visual illusions [19], [32], [36].
In C2, the Green (Yellow) container was placed at the left side of the Green (Yellow) subject: the winning subject had to execute an index finger abduction (contraction of the FDI muscle) to push the sphere towards the container (Figure 1B).
In C3, the colors of containers were reversed, so that the Green (Yellow) container was placed at the right side of the Green (Yellow) subject: the winning subject had to execute an index finger adduction (FDI muscle not involved) to "pull" the sphere towards the container (Figure 1C).
Therefore, the receiving subject had to execute additional mental transformation to adapt to the static viewpoint saved by the sending subject for creation of a discussion context.
In the latter study by Craighero et al., subjects had to execute a grasping action to a (real) bar object, triggered by a go-cue (a bar of matching or non-matching orientation) on a computer screen.
To follow the instruction and fixate both sample dots the subjects had to execute at least two saccades: from the fixation cross to the first sample dot and from there to the second dot.
This leads to the subject being able to execute those suggestions into actions and thus help is sought successfully.
