Inclusion Criteria

• Physically healthy individuals.
• Normal or corrected-to-normal vision.
• Between 18 and 35 years old.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects with a history of psychiatric or neurological disorders (including epilepsy) and subjects that use drugs that may influence the task performance will be excluded from participation. For MRI, several additional criteria apply and the participant will have to fill out a detailed questionnaire covering safety aspects of the research in relation to the 3 Tesla magnetic field and the MRI environment (see document E2 Toestemmingsformulier). ;Criteria preventing participation due to the MRI are:
• MRI-incompatible implants in the body.
• Any risk of metal particles in the eyes or body (such as manual work without eye protection or shrapnel injuries).

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<p>The dependent variable for fMRI data is the percent signal change in every<br /><br>voxel of the brain during performance to the tasks. We will perform a<br /><br>classification analysis on the data from specific brain regions to look for<br /><br>similarities in brain activations when the subjects were performing and<br /><br>observing the same actions, actions with the same goal, and actions with the<br /><br>same movement.<br /><br><br /><br><br /><br>Further details are contained in the Protocol.</p><br>
