The Experience of Agency (2009, background): “Voluntary movement depends on a cascade of cognitive-motor processes within the brain’s frontal lobes (Haggard, 2008): These processes give us a sense of agency over our own voluntary movement, and over the effects of our movement on the external world, while passive movement does not.”
An Interoceptive Predictive Coding Model of Conscious Presence (2011, background): “Among these areas the pre-supplementary motor area plays a key role in implementing complex, open decisions among alternative actions and has been suggested as a source of the so-called “readiness potential” identified in the classic experiments of Libet on volition (Haggard, 2008).”
Situating the default-mode network along a principal gradient of macroscale cortical organization (2016, background): “This capacity is adaptive, because it permits flexibility: more abstract representations of a stimulus enable the generation of alternative behaviors, allowing original and creative thoughts to emerge (62).”
The science of mind wandering: empirically navigating the stream of consciousness. (2015, background): “Intrinsic processes that are the hallmark of freedom from immediacy are a general property of the brain (Smith et al. 2009) and are considered influential in volitional choice and action (Haggard 2008, Schurger et al. 2012).”
A visual analytics approach to understanding cycling behaviour (2012, neutral): “…chapter examines the relationship between two types of spatial presence: the spatial presence that articulates the audience’s suspension of disbelief and their subsequent location within a film’s narrative world, and the spatial presence of sound and music within a multichannel cinema environment.”
Neural basis of reinforcement learning and decision making. (2012, background): “For example, when human subjects are asked to initiate a movement voluntarily without any immediate sensory cue, scalp EEG displays the so-called readiness potential well before movement onset, and its source has been localized to the supplementary motor area (Haggard 2008, Nachev et al. 2008).”
Medial prefrontal cortex as an action-outcome predictor (2011, background): “The model begins with the premise that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC), and especially the dorsal aspects, may be central to forming expectations about actions and detecting surprising outcome”
Active interoceptive inference and the emotional brain (2016, background): “A simple classification, from ‘low’ to ‘high’ levels, would range from experiences of being and having a body (10) (63) (64), through to the experience of perceiving the world from a particular point of view (a first person perspective, see (65) (66)), to experiences of intention and agency (67) (68”
Intention, action planning, and decision making in parietal-frontal circuits. (2009, background): “, 2004; Cui and Andersen, 2007) are sometimes referred to as ‘‘free choice’’ in which selections are made concerning ‘‘where, when, or how’’ (Haggard, 2008).”
