continuous EEG naturalistic neural tracking somatosensory temporal response function Significance Statement This study expands the current research conducted on neural tracking, opening the exploration of idiosyncratic tactile events and overcoming constraints of laboratory tasks that typically rely on discrete events. We validated a protocol for the ecological investigations of continuous, slow, tactile processing of the hands.

1. Introduction Although many of the processes underlying motor programming and execution are not accessible to consciousness, we are aware that we are moving (motor awareness) and that we desire to act (motor intention). Blakemore et al. [1] proposed that, for intentional movements, motor commands are selected and sent to the muscles to perform the action, while at the same time a prediction is made about the sensory consequences of the movement.
