“…On this view the sense of agency is generated by processes dedicated to the control of voluntary action. Optimal motor control and learning require predictions of both the future states of the motor system and the sensory consequences of movement (Wolpert & Ghahramani, 2000). These predictions are derived from internal forward models, of which there are two classes: forward dynamic and forward sensory.…”

It is nearly 10 years since Patrick Haggard and colleagues first reported the 'intentional binding' effect . The intentional binding effect refers to the subjective compression of the temporal interval between a voluntary action and its external sensory consequence. Since the first report, considerable interest has been generated and a fascinating array of studies has accumulated. Much of the interest in intentional binding comes from the promise to shed light on human agency. In this review we survey studies on intentional binding, focusing, in particular, on the link between intentional binding and the sense of agency (the experience of controlling action to influence events in the environment). We suggest that, whilst it is yet to be fully explicated, the link between intentional binding and the sense of agency is compelling. We conclude by considering outstanding questions and future directions for research on intentional binding.3

“…Neuroscience research has shown that our brains use all available sensory feedback, including sound, to keep track of the changing structure and position of the body in space (Botvinick & Cohen, 1998;De Vignemont, Ehrsson, & Haggard, 2005) and to adjust actions (Wolpert & Ghahramani, 2000). For instance, the sound of tapping with an object on one's hand provides information about hand position, arm length (Tajadura-Jiménez et al, 2012), and force applied (Tajadura-Jiménez, Furfaro, BianchiBerthouze, & Bevilacqua, in press), or the timing of steps when walking (Menzer et al, 2010).…”

Chronic (persistent) pain (CP) affects 1 in 10 adults; clinical resources are insufficient, and anxiety about activity restricts lives. Technological aids monitor activity but lack necessary psychological support. This article proposes a new sonification framework, Go-with-the-Flow, informed by physiotherapists and people with CP. The framework proposes articulation of user-defined sonified exercise spaces (SESs) tailored to psychological needs and physical capabilities that enhance body and movement awareness to rebuild confidence in physical activity. A smartphone-based wearable device and a Kinect-based device were designed based on the framework to track movement and breathing and sonify them during physical activity. In control studies conducted to evaluate the sonification strategies, people with CP reported increased performance, motivation, awareness of movement, and relaxation with sound feedback. Home studies, a focus group, and a survey of CP patients conducted at the end of a hospital pain management session provided an in-depth understanding of how different aspects of the SESs and their calibration can facilitate self-directed rehabilitation and how the wearable version of the device can facilitate transfer of gains from exercise to feared or demanding activities in real life. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings on the design of technology for physical rehabilitation

“…These feed-forward predictions are thought to update multi-sensory estimates of the state of the body (e.g. posture of the upper limbs), represented in the parietal cortex (particularly the SPL) [13,15]. An interesting possibility is that these same predictive mechanisms might play a role in forecasting the longrange consequences of response alternatives [5,16,17].…”

“…An emerging view is that the cerebellum supports forward internal models that predict the likely sensory consequences of a motor command slightly in advance of the actual sensory feedback that accompanies movement [13,14]. These feed-forward predictions are thought to update multi-sensory estimates of the state of the body (e.g.…”

Comparative investigations of manual action representations: evidence that chimpanzees represent the costs of potential future actions involving tools

The ability to adjust one's ongoing actions in the anticipation of forthcoming task demands is considered as strong evidence for the existence of internal action representations. Studies of action selection in tool use reveal that the behaviours that we choose in the present moment differ depending on what we intend to do next. Further, they point to a specialized role for mechanisms within the human cerebellum and dominant left cerebral hemisphere in representing the likely sensory costs of intended future actions. Recently, the question of whether similar mechanisms exist in other primates has received growing, but still limited, attention. Here, we present data that bear on this issue from a species that is a natural user of tools, our nearest living relative, the chimpanzee. In experiment 1, a subset of chimpanzees showed a non-significant tendency for their grip preferences to be affected by anticipation of the demands associated with bringing a tool's baited end to their mouths. In experiment 2, chimpanzees' initial grip preferences were consistently affected by anticipation of the forthcoming movements in a task that involves using a tool to extract a food reward. The partial discrepancy between the results of these two studies is attributed to the ability to accurately represent differences between the motor costs associated with executing the two response alternatives available within each task. These findings suggest that chimpanzees are capable of accurately representing the costs of intended future actions, and using those predictions to select movements in the present even in the context of externally directed tool use.
