Abstract While the Sense of Agency (SoA)–the experience of controlling actions–is linked to
motoric processes, the effects of non-motoric cues remain uncertain. We performed a …

Body ownership (the feeling that one's body belongs to oneself) is commonly studied with
Rubber hand illusion (RHI) paradigm that allows inducing a temporary illusory feeling of …

Awareness of the body is essential for accurate motor control. However, how this awareness
influences motor control is poorly understood. The awareness of the body includes …

Sensory attenuation (ie, the phenomenon whereby self-produced sensations are perceived
as less intense compared to externally occurring ones) is among the neurocognitive …

Action monitoring is crucial to the successful execution of an action and understanding the
actions of others. It is often impaired due to brain lesions, in particular after stroke. This …

Forward models can predict sensory consequences of self‐action, which is reflected by less
neural processing for actively than passively generated sensory inputs (BOLD suppression …

Traditionally investigated in philosophy, body ownership and agency—two main
components of the minimal self—have recently gained attention from other disciplines, such …

Sensory attenuation of self-touch, that is, the perceptual reduction of self-generated tactile
stimuli, is considered a neurocognitive basis for self-other distinction. However, whether this …

Recent findings suggest that body ownership can activate the motor system in the absence
of movement execution. Here, we investigated whether such a process promotes motor …
