Experimental design. The first 300 ms-frame depicted the agent's right hand reaching one of two objects (e.g., a bottle of water) positioned on an empty table with neutral background. The second 500 ms-frame depicted the agent's right hand grasping that object. The third 1,200 ms-frame displayed the final intention (e.g., filling the glass of water). The three frames appeared immediately following each other, giving the visual illusion of a continuous video-clip. Finally, a 4,000–6,000 ms-inter-trial interval separated the onset of each video-clip presentation.
