High-frequency neurostimulation of the right inferior parietal cortex alters the sense of agency: Results from tACS/tRNS and rTMS-EEG studies
Using the largest subject pool to date, our study provides causal evidence for the crucial role of the right IPL in processing SoA, particularly in detecting non-self agency arising from real-time sensorimotor mismatch comparison. Our findings suggest that external stimulation affects the comparator mechanism, rather than introducing prediction errors as previously proposed, and support the view that the right IPL is more closely associated with the implicit feeling of agency rather than with higher cognitive processes.
