^aEach monkey took part in a reach-saccade task with a planning period. Monkey L used the contralateral (right) arm to the recording chamber. Monkey R used the ipsilateral (also right) arm. For Monkey R, some trials without a planning period (rows 2 and 3) were interleaved with conventional planning trials, but these trials were excluded from analysis. Any trials without an instructed effector (5th column) were decision-making trials, in which the animal was free to decide on which effector to use.
