この実験では最初にspatial cueというリーチ運動のゴールを提示され、その後にルール"direct"(spatial cue方向)か"inferred"(spatial cueが呈示された方向の逆の方向)が呈示されて、サルはゴールへのリーチ行動を生成する。この時サルのPPCのニューロン集団は、呈示されたゴールは１つだったにも関わらず、direct とinferred の2つのルールそれぞれに対応するPotential Actionsを同時に表現する。

In this experiment, the monkey is first presented with the spatial cue which is a goal for reach motion, second the rule "direct (direction of spatial cue)" or "inferred (oppsite direction to the spatial cue)", before generating its reach motion. At this point, The monkey's PPC neuron population represents potential actions corresponding to each of the two rules, i.e. direct and inferred, concurrently, even though it was presented with a single goal.

In the experiment, we set a reach exercise goal named spatial cue and then apply a behavior rule of "direct" (in the direction of spatial cue) or "inferred" (in the opposite direction of spatial cue) and the monkey will generate a behavior to reach the goal. Although there is only 1 goal registered, the monkey's PPC neuronal activity will express Potential Actions that correspond to both "direct" and "inferred" behavioral rules.
