  1. Summary of the properties of the PEST sequences, as well as percentage of cases where sustained inattention (distraction from the task) was detected (according to [78]) and resulting number of excluded trials, for participants with stroke (impaired and unimpaired hand) and neurologically intact controls (NIC). For trial- and duration-related results, test and retest were averaged for each participant with stroke, whereas in the case of NIC subjects their left and right hand were averaged. For the results regarding inattention, test and retest were pooled for the participants with stroke, and left and right hand were pooled for the NIC subjects. The values in parentheses correspond to the percentage of cases where sustained inattention was detected and resulting number of excluded trials after truncating the sequences to a maximum of 60 trials
