Activation time courses for left-hemisphere areas that were more active for Real Execute than Pantomime Execute (and also more active for Real Execute than Real View). Although the activation differences between Real and Pantomime Execute are expected based on the contrast used to define the regions, the time courses are presented to illustrate the magnitude activation in the three phases, the ramping up of the activation during the Plan phase for some regions, the similarity in activation levels between fork and knife use, and the absence of movement of movement-related artifacts (Culham, 2006; Barry et al., 2010). Time courses for regions of the right hemisphere were similar.
