The paper investigates how cortical areas contribute to pre-planning and online planning of movement sequences using fMRI in humans.

The paper investigates how the brain plans multiple future arm movements during sequential actions, finding that planning processes interact and influence each other.

The paper investigates neural mechanisms of online action preparation during sequential movements, finding increased activation in parietal and visual areas for overlapping actions, while premotor cortex remains unaffected.

The paper uses fMRI to show that motor planning activates specific patterns in primary motor and somatosensory cortex, similar to those during movement execution.

This study investigates how far ahead people plan movements during a sequence task and finds that planning horizon expands with practice.

This study shows that repeating movement sequences improves performance speed without accuracy loss, suggesting repetition aids online planning of sequential movements.

This study investigates how motor sequence learning improves by examining the role of pre-planning and online planning in a discrete sequence production task.
