About me

Introduction I'm interested in how we develop a sense of controlling our actions and thoughts. Currently I'm investigating similarities and differences between various contexts where sense of agency seems reduced. To do this I'm comparing the experience of experts, who report beneficial and helpful, effortless actions with the experiences of patients who report disturbing and unpleasant, effortless actions. From this work I hope to better understand the cognitive basis of sense of agency.
