The sense of agency describes the experience of controlling one's body to cause desired effects in the world. We explored whether this is influenced by interoceptive processes. Specifically, we investigated whether the sense of agency changes depending on where, in the cardiac cycle (systole or diastole), the action was executed and where the outcome of the action occurred. In two experiments, participants completed decision-making task to win/lose money. Explicit (ratings of control) and implicit (temporal judgement) measures of agency were differentially affected by cardiovascular state. Implicit agency scores were affected by the cardiac phase at the point of action execution. Explicit ratings of control were affected by the type of (free vs. instructed) and by outcome valence (win vs. lose). The time of the action was uniformly distributed across the cardiac cycle. These results show interoceptive impact on agency, but that cardiac cycle may affect explicit and implicit agency differently.
能动感描述了控制自己身体在世界上产生预期效果的体验。我们探究了这是否受内感受过程的影响。具体而言,我们调查了能动感是否会根据心动周期(收缩期或舒张期)中动作执行的位置以及动作结果发生的位置而变化。在两个实验中,参与者完成了赢钱/输钱的决策任务。能动感的显性(控制评分)和隐性(时间判断)测量受到心血管状态的不同影响。隐性能动感得分受动作执行时刻的心动周期阶段影响。控制的显性评分受(自由与指令)类型以及结果效价(赢与输)影响。动作时间在心动周期中均匀分布。这些结果表明内感受对能动感有影响,但心动周期可能对显性和隐性能动感产生不同影响。
