Decoding sequential finger movements from preparatory activity in higher‐order motor regions: a functional magnetic resonance imaging multi‐voxel pattern analysis

Performing a complex sequential finger movement requires the temporally well-ordered organization of individual finger movements. Previous behavioural studies have suggested that the brain prepares a whole sequence of movements as a single set, rather than the movements of individual fingers. However, direct neuroimaging support for this hypothesis is lacking and, assuming it to be true, it remains unclear which brain regions represent the...
