Summary

Voluntary action, not just sense of agency, enhances visual detection and metacognition. Short-timescale sensorimotor control disruptions did not increase false visual perceptions, contrary to hypotheses.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Neuroscience
  • Perception

Background:

  • Lack of control can heighten visual false pattern perception.
  • Previous studies manipulated control over long timescales, altering beliefs.
  • The role of short-timescale sensorimotor discrepancies in false perception is unclear.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate if short-timescale sensorimotor discrepancies disrupt sense of agency and increase false visual perceptions.
  • Explore the impact of agency on visual detection and metacognition.
  • Determine if voluntary action or feedback congruence is key to perception.

Main Methods:

  • Participants performed voluntary key presses with immediate or delayed visual feedback, or passively observed.
  • Sense of agency was manipulated via action and feedback timing.
  • Metacognition was assessed using post-trial confidence ratings for visual detection.

Main Results:

  • Reduced sense of agency did not increase visual false perceptions.
  • Experiencing sense of agency enhanced correct detection (hit rates) and metacognitive sensitivity.
  • Improved detection was linked to response bias, not perceptual sensitivity.
  • Feedback delay did not affect detection or metacognition.

Conclusions:

  • Voluntary action, not solely sense of agency from feedback congruence, shapes perception of action-related feedback.
  • Sense of agency enhances visual detection and metacognitive sensitivity, likely via response bias.
  • Short-timescale sensorimotor discrepancies do not inherently increase false visual perceptions.
