Figure 1. A, Stimuli. Fourteen actions were used in the experiment. Depending on the action, the reach-to-grasp movement kinematics suggested a precision or a whole-hand grip (e.g., Kinematics A: precision grip use for drinking; Kinematics B: whole-hand grip use for cleaning). B, Experimental conditions. Actions could be performed in three different contexts: congruent, incongruent, and ambiguous. C, Event-related design of the TMS experiment. In a two-alternative forced-choice task, participants watched the videos and predicted which action the model was going to perform. Before making their predictions, participants were requested to pay attention to the kinematic information of the model's hand movements and the contextual information in which these movements were embedded. Each trial began with a frame with the word “attention” on the screen lasting 5000 ms, followed by the video clip, which lasted 400 ms. A single TMS pulse was delivered at three different time delays: 80, 240, and 400 ms after video onset. After the video clip, a frame with the verbal descriptors of two possible goals (e.g., “to drink,” “to clean”; one located up and the other located down) was presented. This frame remained on the screen until a response was recorded.
