(7), but in contrast to these previous studies, apart from including younger and only moderately overweight men, our exercise training program included bouts of high intensity exercise. We hypothesized that endurance training, also without a concomitant weight loss, would increase metabolic health. Methods and Procedures ParticipantsVolunteers were recruited through advertising in newspapers and on the internet. Inclusion criteria were male sex, age 20-40 years, BMI 25-30 kg/m 2

Clinical cases of blindsight have shown that visually guided movements can be accomplished without conscious visual perception. Here, we show that blindsight can be induced in healthy subjects by using transcranial magnetic stimulation over the visual cortex. Transcranial magnetic stimulation blocked the conscious perception of a visual stimulus, but subjects still corrected an ongoing reaching movement in response to the stimulus. The data show that correction of reaching movements does not require conscious perception of a visual target stimulus, even in healthy people. Our results support previous results suggesting that an efference copy is involved in movement correction, and this mechanism seems to be consistent even for movement correction without perception.consciousness ͉ perception ͉ reaching ͉ efference copy
