  1. Summary of task settings utilized at each training stage. Performance criteria indicate the behavioral performance necessary to graduate to the next training stages. NM/M indicates the proportion of stimulus conditions belonging to each category. PA indicates whether that stimulus condition was included in the stimulus set. Fast/Slow indicates the proportion of speed stimulus conditions. Delay indicates the starting and ending delay period length along with the interval in which the delay was increased. Withdraw indicates the distance in which the rotor was withdrawn during the delay period, along with the increments of increase.
