“…Thus, we were able to assess the performance of both the affected hand and the unimpaired hand in a bimanual coupling task, unlike in the previous studies (Garbarini et al, 2013; Garbarini, Turella, et al, 2015), in which only one arm was assessed. To study the bimanual coupling effect, we adopted the Circles−Lines Coupling Task (Burin, Kilteni, Rabuffetti, Slater, & Pia, 2019; della Gatta et al, 2017; Garbarini et al, 2012, 2013, 2014; Garbarini, Rabuffetti, et al, 2015; Garbarini, Turella, et al, 2015; Piedimonte et al, 2018): In this common spatial task, when participants draw simultaneously incongruent shapes (i.e., a line and a circle), the line drawing generally assumes an oval or curved shape. Crucially, this effect is not detectable in the unimanual (only one hand drawing lines) and in the congruent bimanual (both hands drawing lines) movements.…”
