Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
We will adopt a conventional two-level approach for a block-design fMRI data using SPM12. A voxel-by-voxel multiple regression analysis will be conducted for the first-level within-subject (fixed effects) model. We will construct for each subject a model of expected signal changes involving the four conditions; 2 measurement conditions(ipsilateral/contralateral) by 2 foot-laterality conditions(right/left).
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Any deviation from the target position, discounting direction, was defined as the absolute position error: 1) E absolute = ABS(Xparticipant - Xtarget) For constant error, the difference between reproduced and actual target angle was used, considering the direction of the error: 2) E constant = ( Xparticipant - Xtarget ) 3) E variable: The variable error was calculated as the overall standard deviation (SD) of constant error from 14 trials, irrespective of the target range:
