Primary Outcome Measures

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