The sense of agency refers to the subjective experience of controlling one's actions and perceiving their effects on the world. Interest in the sense of agency has exploded since the early 2000s, largely because scientists have learned that it can be studied objectively through analyses of human judgment, behavior, and the brain. This book provides the first structured survey of this nascent but rapidly growing interdisciplinary field, featuring perspectives from leading researchers in engineering, psychology, neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, and philosophy of mind.
