Figure 1

Representative trials from a single subject. RT: trial obtained in response to an imperative signal (IS). RS: trial obtained in response to an imperative signal, delivered together with a startling auditory stimulus (SAS). AT: trial obtained in a self-initiated action performed within the required time window. AS: trial obtained in a self-initiated action performed within the required time window short time after a SAS. OOc: EMG activity recorded from the orbicularis oculi muscle. EMGF: EMG from wrist flexor muscles. EMGE: EMG from wrist extensor muscles. Wrist extension is shown as an upwards change in the angle and velocity traces.
