In the citing paper
“Mechanistically, this finding fits with models in which response preparation is not a discrete endpoint of cognition, but a continuous process through which partial perceptual and decisional information is progressively transmitted to the motor system [143,144,145].”

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“The LRP is generally interpreted as an electrophysiological marker of lateralised central motor activation, reflecting the preferential preparation of the response hand before or around response execution [143,144,145,146].”
The cited source says what the claim attributes to it.
In the citing paper
“Stimulus-locked LRP measures are typically more informative about the timing of response selection and premotor preparation, whereas response-locked LRP activity reflects processes closer to response execution, including the final buildup of motor activation before overt movement [145,146,147,148].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
