The experience of agency refers to the experience of being in control both of one’s own actions and, through them, of events in the external world. Recent experimental studies have investigated how people recognize a particular event as being caused by their own action or by that of another person. These studies suggest that people match sensory inputs to a prediction based on the action they are performing. Other studies have contrasted voluntary actions to physically similar but passive body movements. These studies suggest that voluntary action triggers wide ranging changes in the spatial and temporal experience not only of one’s own body but also of external events. Prediction and monitoring of the consequences of one’s own motor commands produces characteristic experiences that form our normal, everyday feeling of being in control of our life. We conclude by discussing the implications of recent psychological work for our notions of responsibility for action.
