Trial-by-trial analysis of target-cursor lag during different parts of a trial. (A) Example for lag changing within a single trial during manipulation under the Delay condition. Without any visual manipulation (seconds 1.5–3.5) the hand (solid black line) and the cursor (dashed gray line) are aligned and usually lead the target (dashed black line) as a consequence of the visual manipulation effect carried over from a previous trial. Introducing delay between hand and cursor (seconds 60.5–62.5) made the participant to try and move his/her hand in such way that it will lead the target so the cursor will be aligned with the target. After the delay was removed, the hand and the cursor realigned which caused the cursor to lead the target (seconds 105.5–107.5). (B) Lag value between the cursor in each trial for group 1. Colored lines indicate mean lag value of participants according to the different parts of each trial. The parts are marked with colors according to the delay profile in Fig. 1E. Shaded region represents the STD around the mean. Rectangles with letter symbols represent the condition in each trial according to Fig. 1D. (C) The same notation as in (B) but for group 2.
