17. We focus on measures of variable error, operationalized as the standard deviation of the cycle durations. This measure has been commonly used in neuropsychological studies [e.g. (1)] to assess the contribution of different neural structures to timing based on the assumption that lesions add noise to the system.

21. By "explicit," we mean that the action representation includes the specification of a temporal goal, as opposed to being a conscious representation as this term implies in the memory literature.

24. Variability due to linear drift in cycle duration was removed by detrending (34). A regression line was fit to the time series for each trial, and the residuals were pooled across trials for each participant in each condition. The standard deviation of these residuals was divided by the mean cycle duration to obtain the coefficient of variation scores.
25. One concern with our within-subject comparison is that the difference between hands may be related to other factors, such as handedness. However, the lesions affected the dominant hand for five of the six patients; thus, any effect of handedness would work against our hypothesis.
