Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The primary study parameters are reaction times and cerebral activity (BOLD response). The influence of hand posture on an imagined movement with that hand is measured. This will reveal brain regions responsible for the coupling of body position and motor planning. Next, the connections between those brain regions and the basal ganglia will be measured. It will also be measured what the activity of those brain regions in the resting state is.	—
