Timescale of the experimental design. Each experimental trial consisted of an observation phase (2000 ms) and subsequent motor imagery phase (3000 ms). During the observation, each video depicting a technical dance step was presented at the center of the screen. It was then followed by an interstimulus interval (ISI) lasting 900 ± 100 ms, in which a red cross on an isoluminant light grey background was shown. The motor imagery phase started as soon as the fixation cross turned into blue. An example of stimuli is visible in the left lower corner of the figure. Seven static frames from a video are presented here overlapping each other to illustrate the typical timing of a movement: preparation (onset), climax (1000 ms), end (2000 ms).
