Abstract

Attenuation of neural responses to self- vs. externally generated stimuli is widely considered an implicit marker of the Sense of Agency and often interpreted within predictive processing and comparator frameworks. Agency is thought to arise from the integration of multiple cues, including action-effect timing and outcome predictability. How these factors jointly shape electrophysiological correla…
