A single trial of the action observation task began with a TMS pulse being delivered whilst participants focused their gaze on the blue background of the screen (intra-task baseline, BIT). This was followed by the appearance fixation cross, and in turn the first presentation of a video clip. A second fixation cross preceded the second presentation of a video clip. The trial ended with a question presented on the screen regarding the sameness of the two videos, to which participants verbally responded. Single TMS pulses were delivered during the presentation of the intra-task baseline period, as well as at the point of contact with the object during each of the two video presentations.
