Free Will and Agency

The prospective sense of agency is rooted in local and global properties of intrinsic functional brain networks

The paper investigates how individual differences in the prospective sense of agency relate to intrinsic brain network properties at multiple spatial scales.

Two Ways to Change Your Mind: Effects of Intentional Strength and Motor Costs on Changes of Intention.

The paper investigates how intentional strength and motor costs influence changes of intention during decision-making, showing that stronger intentions reduce changes of intention, while higher motor costs increase them.

Prospective and retrospective contributions to intention awareness in voluntary action

This study investigates how prospective and retrospective factors influence awareness of motor intention during voluntary action using real-time EEG and brain-computer interface cues.

Agency and responsibility over virtual movements controlled through different paradigms of brain-computer interface

This study investigates how different brain-computer interface paradigms affect the sense of agency and responsibility in controlling virtual movements.

Neural precursors of deliberate and arbitrary decisions in the study of voluntary action

The paper compares neural precursors of arbitrary and deliberate decisions, finding readiness potentials before arbitrary decisions but not deliberate ones, suggesting different neural mechanisms.

A Bayesian psychophysics model of sense of agency

This paper introduces a Bayesian model of sense of agency that explains intentional binding and shows that causation can be inferred even from unintended actions when sensory cues are reliable.

Evidence for metacognitive bias in perception of voluntary action

The paper investigates metacognitive bias in estimating the success of voluntary actions versus passive movements and visual signals, finding overconfidence in both active and passive conditions.

Compress global, dilate local: Intentional binding in action-outcome alternations

The paper investigates intentional binding in action-outcome alternations, finding that active participants perceive shorter durations for alternated dyads compared to passive participants.

To jump or not to jump: The Bereitschaftspotential required to jump into 192-meter abyss

The paper records Bereitschaftspotential (BP) before extreme bungee jumping, showing it is similar to lab conditions.

Dissociating cognitive and motoric precursors of human self-initiated action

The paper investigates neural precursors of self-initiated actions by comparing EEG variability before self-initiated and externally-triggered actions, finding stronger convergence during deliberative planning.

The self as a generative, teleological, and subjective prior: Mutually-modulated temporal agency

The paper investigates how perceptual generation, not termination, infers self-agency in time perception through seven experiments with 90 participants.

Sensorimotor conflicts alter perceptual and action monitoring

This study investigates how sensorimotor conflicts affect perceptual and action monitoring by manipulating bodily self-consciousness through experimental tasks.

Self-agency built with sensorimotor processing: Decoding self-other action attribution in the human brain

This study identifies neural representations for sensorimotor error, feeling of agency, and judgment of agency in the human brain.

The context-dependent nature of the neural implementation of intentions

This study investigates whether neural representations of intentions are context- and reason-invariant, finding that they are context-dependent but not reason-dependent.

Precursor processes of human self-initiated action

The paper investigates the neural processes preceding self-initiated actions by comparing EEG variability in self-initiated versus externally-triggered skip responses, finding reduced neural noise prior to self-initiated actions.

Predicted sensory consequences of voluntary actions modulate amplitude and temporal dynamics of preceding readiness potentials

The paper shows that expected sensory consequences of voluntary actions modulate readiness potentials, with no effect on lateralized readiness potentials.
