“…Focusing on auditory studies, this review summarized recent developments in SA research and discussed the strengths and weaknesses of two major theoretical frameworks, forward models and predictive processing. Results of current studies examining the confounding effects of temporality indicate that while temporal predictability and control indeed influence attenuation effects, other mechanisms must be included to explain SA (Kaiser and Schütz-Bosbach, 2018;Harrison et al, 2021). Studies investigating the role of identity prediction could show SA based on learned associations rather than motor-vs. externallygenerated behavior (Schröger et al, 2015;Dogge et al, 2019b).…”

“…Looking only at self-initiated actions, N1 showed strong attenuation effects to tones that were played immediately compared to when they were temporally delayed (750 ms) and preceded by a progress bar. Moreover, by implementing cued trials (visual stimuli indicating the timing of auditory stimulus onset) and uncued trials (random visual stimuli unrelated to auditory stimulus onset or action), Harrison et al (2021) could isolate the effects of temporal predictability and temporal control and found that both mechanisms do independently contribute to attenuation. Note that in this study, temporal control had the usual facilitating effect on SA in the P2, but looking at the N1 effect patterns were reversed with higher temporal control leading to reduced attenuation of the ERP.…”

Self-generated auditory input is perceived less loudly than the same sounds generated externally. The existence of this phenomenon, called Sensory Attenuation (SA), has been studied for decades and is often explained by motor-based forward models. Recent developments in the research of SA, however, challenge these models. We review the current state of knowledge regarding theoretical implications about the significance of Sensory Attenuation and its role in human behavior and functioning. Focusing on behavioral and electrophysiological results in the auditory domain, we provide an overview of the characteristics and limitations of existing SA paradigms and highlight the problem of isolating SA from other predictive mechanisms. Finally, we explore different hypotheses attempting to explain heterogeneous empirical findings, and the impact of the Predictive Coding Framework in this research area.

“…Furthermore, a study also showed that sensory attenuation occurs when stimuli are not predictable but merely coincide with a button press (Horváth et al, 2012;Lange, 2011). In a recent study, in addition to temporal predictability, the influence of temporal control on the N1 amplitude was assessed (Harrison et al, 2021). Sensory attenuation could still be measured when each of these factors was controlled for.…”

Tactile motor attention induces sensory attenuation for sounds

A doorbell sounds less loud to us if we ring it ourselves than if someone else pushes the button. Self-produced stimuli appear attenuated to us compared to stimuli generated by others (Weiss et al., 2011). The effect is known as sensory attenuation for external events. Here, we asked whether this effect results from a competition for attentional resources of sensory events. We first tested whether tactile attention is boosted at the time of pushing a button. We presented a button in a virtual reality setup that allowed to manipulate the time of tactile feedback. We found that a tactile impulse was perceived as more intense in the moment the hand pushed the button. In a second experiment, participants pushed a button and estimated the loudness of sounds. We found sensory attenuation for the loudness of the sound only when tactile feedback was provided at the time of reaching the movement goal. In a third experiment, we found that this interaction between a tactile and an auditory event did not occur when the hands remained passive without movement. These data reveal that sensory attenuation for external events occurs because tactile attention is boosted at the time of a button pressing movement, thereby dragging attention from the auditory modality.

“…A recent study (Harrison et al, 2021) manipulated both temporal predictability in the AO condition, and temporal control in the MA condition by means of visual cueing, showing that MIS is preserved when both features are controlled for.…”
