Experimental procedures. In each trial, initial instructions guided subjects to simply observe the robot's movements (experiment 1) or guidance arrows (experiment 2) on the screen and a manually respond as rapidly as possible whenever the catch trial static robot (experiment 1) or blank (experiment 2) is presented. Each trial started with a fixation cross presented in the middle of a gray screen. The duration of the fixation cross was 2,000 ms. After presentation of the fixation cross, stimuli were presented in the middle of the gray screen for 4,000 ms to investigate participants' ERD suppressions via EEG recordings and were followed by a 2,000-ms pause as a break. Each of the eight AO stimuli (left and right in four speed modes) was randomly presented four times, and the catch trial stimulus was randomly presented eight times within one session in Experiment 1. Each of the two MI stimuli (left and right) was randomly presented four times, and the catch trial stimulus was randomly presented eight times within one session in Experiment 2.
