16. For conceptual clarity, we use the term corticospinal coherence instead of corticomuscular coherence. See (20) for evidence that this coherence originates in motor cortex.
17. The hazard rate of an event at a certain time is defined as the conditional probability of the event occurring at that time, given that it has not yet occurred. See (20) for more information.

21. To ensure that unavoidable small fluctuations in EMG activity did not confound the result, we used a stratification procedure that eliminated trials deviating from the mean EMG activity such that changes in EMG activity relative to baseline did not exceed 2% (20). The described results were obtained with this stratification.
