Pictures of the experimental setup are shown in Fig. 2. The amputee subjects were seated in a chair with their arms relaxed at their sides or resting on their lap before performing the task (Fig. 2a). A visual display in front of the subject was used to present timing information for each motor task (Fig. 2b).
