Description

This exploration delves into the complex relationship between consciousness and the sense of agency—a pivotal aspect of human experience. As individuals navigate daily life, the perception of oneself as the initiator of thoughts and actions becomes intertwined with their understanding of identity. This compilation, edited by Michela Balconi, brings together various insights from the field of neuropsychology, shedding light on the neural mechanisms that underpin our sense of self and decision-making.

Contributors to this work provide a multi-faceted analysis, weaving together theoretical frameworks and empirical findings that illuminate how the brain constructs the notion of agency. From philosophical inquiries to experimental studies, the text presents a comprehensive examination of how consciousness informs not only our actions but also our sense of accountability and ownership over those actions. Ultimately, it offers a deeper understanding of what it means to be human in the context of agency and consciousness.
