Abstract
Usually, we do not question that we possess a body and act upon the world. This
pre-reflective awareness of being a bodily and agentive self can, however, be disrupted
by different clinical conditions. Whereas sense of ownership (SoO) describes the feeling
of mineness toward one’s own body parts, feelings or thoughts, sense of agency (SoA)
refers to the experience of initiating and controlling an action. Although SoA and SoO
naturally coincide, both experiences can also be made in isolation. By using many
different experimental paradigms, both experiences have been extensively studied over
the last years. This review introduces both concepts, with a special focus also onto
their interplay. First, current experimental paradigms, results and neurocognitive theories
about both concepts will be presented and then their clinical and therapeutic relevance
is discussed.
