The neuroscience of volition is an emerging subfield of the brain sciences, with hundreds of
papers on the role of consciousness in action formation published each year. This makes …

Behavior is a complex product of interactions between sensory influx arising from the
environment and the neural state of the organism. Therefore, identical sensory input can …

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 …

Self-generated, voluntary actions, are preceded by a slow negativity in the scalp
electroencephalography (EEG) signal recorded from frontal regions (termed 'readiness …

Across species and ages, planning multi-step actions is a hallmark of intelligence and
critical for survival. Traditionally, researchers adopt a" top-down" approach to action …

Self-generated overt actions are preceded by a slow negativity as measured by
electroencephalogram, which has been associated with motor preparation. Recent studies …

The acquisition of sensory information about the world is a dynamic and interactive
experience, yet the majority of sensory research focuses on perception without action and is …

Human brain activity allows to anticipate future events and to prepare the next action
accordingly; consistently, event-related potential (ERP) studies found action preparatory …

Sensory suppression effects observed in electroencephalography (EEG) index successful
predictions of the type and timing of self-generated sensory feedback. However, it is unclear …

Stimulus-driven actions are preceded by preparatory brain activity that can be expressed by
event-related potentials (ERP). Literature on this topic has focused on simple actions, such …
