Rating values for the number of action codes (NAC) related to 51 objects/object sets as assessed pre-experimentally in an independent group of n = 24 volunteers. Values were subsequently used to model the BOLD fMRI amplitude during object-compatible and object-incompatible action. Some values are highlighted and correspond to the objects shown in the photos, based on which participants delivered their ratings. For instance, the object set “pencil and sharpener” were mostly reported to be related to “sharpening a pencil” (resulting in NAC=1), whereas “candle and lighter” participants often associated “lighting a candle,” and sometimes also “melting a candle's foot” (in order to firmly fixate it in a candle stand) (NAC=1.65).
