Self-report of percentage of attention invested at the instructed focus during block 2 (%)	N/A	74.3 (10.9)	82.1 (9.7)	0.054
Number of participants in kinematic analysis	14	14	14
Number of participants in EEG analysis	13	12	14

Age, height, weight, percentage of attention invested to the instructed focus are shown in mean with standard deviation in parentheses. Age, height, weight, right-handedness, and female per group were compared among the three groups using a one-way ANOVA. Percentage of attention invested between EXT and INT group was compared using a two-sample t-test
