Not nothing without you but not the same Erich Fried (1979) How do
I know that I am the person who is moving? The neuroscience of
action has identified specific cognitive processes that allow the
organism to refer the cause or origin of an action to its agent.
This sense of agency has been defined as the sense that I am the
one who is causing or generating an action or a certain thought in
my stream of consciousness. As such, one can distinguish actions
that are self-generated from those generated by others, giving rise
to the experience of a self-other disti- tion in the domain of
action. A tentative list of the features distinguishing the concept
of agency includes awareness of a goal, of an intention to act, and
of initiation of action; awareness of movements; a sense of
activity, of mental effort, and of control; and the concept of
authorship. However, it remains unclear how these various aspects
of action and agency are related, to what extent they are
dissociable, and whether some are more basic than others. Their
sources remain to be specified and their relationship to action
specification and action control mechanism is as yet unknown.
