Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Finger Tapping Task	5 minutes	The finger tapping task is a motor sequence learning task in which participants are asked to tap with their non-dominant hand a 5-digits sequence (for example 4-1-3-2-4 or 2-4-13-2), as rapidly and accurately as possible, using the numeric key-buttons of a computer keyboard or a response box.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3	15 minutes	The Movement Imagery Questionnaire-3 is the most recent version of the Movement Imagery Questionnaire and the Movement Imagery Questionnaire-Revised. It is a 12-item questionnaire to assess individual's ability to image four movements using: Internal visual imagery External visual imagery Kinesthetic imagery. A 7 point scale used to score each item and the higher score indicates higher ability to perform motor imagery.
