∗: p < 0.05; ∗∗: p < 0.001; ↗ and ↘ indicate the significant increase or decrease in each microstate parameter during the aiming state as compared with the resting state; — indicates that the microstate parameters show no significant difference in the aiming state when compared with those of the resting stat.
