Abstract [Introduction] What I wish to do here is discuss ways of thinking about preparation (specifically for activity) in reference to newly developing insights on coordination and motor control. I then wish to point to paradigms that may be useful in identifying more clearly the neural counterparts of movement preparation. As Walter Ritter has already remarked, much of the work on readiness potentials has involved relatively “aimless” tasks. Thus we know little about what aspects of behavior (in terms of the motor talks employed) relate to the “preparatory waves” that we observe when we record from the brain.
