Individuals suffering from specific neurological disorders will be excluded as well as those who are specifically excluded from participation in MRI scans. By neurological disorders we are referring to disorders for which consultation of a medical specialist was necessary: epilepsy, serious concussions, and temporary paralysis. Exclusion criteria for MRI are, for example, the presence of ferromagnetic material in or on the body, for example tattoos with ferrous ink, pregnancy and claustrophobia.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>Localisation of condition-related cerebral activation increases, particularly<br /><br>in the premotor cortex. This results from the detection of differences in<br /><br>(hemodynamic) BOLD responses, based on the difference between conditions within<br /><br>the experimental groups, and the differences between groups.</p><br>
