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 …

There is overwhelming evidence to suggest that male gender is at a higher risk of
develo** more severe Covid‐19 disease and thus having poorer clinical outcomes …

Can octopuses feel pain and pleasure? What about crabs, shrimps, insects, or spiders? How
do we tell whether a person unresponsive after severe brain injury might be suffering? When …

Self‐initiated movements are accompanied by an efference copy, a motor command sent
from motor regions to the sensory cortices, containing a prediction of the movement's …

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 …

Intrinsic delays in sensory feedback can be detrimental for motor control. As a compensation
strategy, the brain predicts the sensory consequences of movement via a forward model on …

Efference copy‐based forward model mechanisms may help us to distinguish between self‐
generated and externally‐generated sensory consequences. Previous studies have shown …

Sensory attenuation refers to the reduction in sensory intensity resulting from self-initiated
actions compared to stimuli initiated externally. A classic example is scratching oneself …

The brain attenuates its responses to self-produced exteroceptions (eg, we cannot tickle
ourselves). Is this phenomenon, known as sensory attenuation, enabled innately, or …

Tool use is one of the most remarkable skills of the human species, enabling complex
interactions with the environment. To establish such interactions, we predict the sensory …
