Overview of included and excluded participants and trials for all experiments
| Experiment | n Analyzed | Men | Age, yr [mean (min; max)] | n Excluded | No. of Exclusions (movement) | No. of Exclusions (angle) | Total No. of Movements |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 22 | 7 | 25 (20; 30) | 1a +1b | 462 (5.5%) | 12 (0.1%) | 8,360 |
| 2 | 20 | 4 | 21 (19; 30) | 0 | 353 (4.1%) | 56 (0.6%) | 8,680 |
| 3 | 19 | 7 | 24 (19; 29) | 1c | 401 (4.9%) | 152 (1.8%) | 8,246 |
| 4 | 21 | 9 | 24 (20; 29) | 1a +1b +7c | 320 (3.5%) | 12 (0.1%) | 9,114 |
Reasons for excluding participants:
a
did not finish testing (because of bug in experimental software or time constraints);
b
did not meet inclusion criteria (age, handedness, metal implants);
c
failure to follow instructions (revealed in postexperimental standardized questioning). Individual trials were excluded if no start could be detected or participants failed to reach target amplitude within the specified time (“movement”) or if the angular cursor error was >120° (“angle”).
