We argue that ALIA experiences occur because of constraints imposed by the close and precise temporal relations between intention formation and a contrary action employed in this paradigm.
Our EEG findings identify modulation in the temporal dynamics of intention understanding by demonstrating two time intervals with sensitivity to RS across the collective 400 ms after hand-object interaction onset.
Event related potentials (ERPs) can be used in studying the temporal process of intention, as they provide an excellent and precise metric of the time course of neural activity [ 7, 8].
Furthermore, Haggard and co-workers presented a new phenomenon called intentional binding: when a voluntary action produces (with the awareness and intention) the temporal (subjective) gap between the action and its perceived sensory outcome is less when the awareness is pre-existing but it is high when the awareness does not involve this [15].
Here we used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and high-density electroencephalogram (EEG), with a repetition suppression design, to assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of decoding intentions.
While RS has been used in numerous prior fMRI studies [1], [4], [28] [31], to our knowledge, the present study constitutes the first RS EEG study on the spatio-temporal dynamics of intention understanding.
The spatio-temporal dynamics of intention decoding provided by the EEG and source localization methods used in the present study substantially supplement the results observed in the fMRI RS data.
Through the context of users using the applications of smartphone, this study found that temporal dissociation moderates the satisfaction continuance intention relationship negatively.
According to Bratman (1985, §VI), Davidson neglects the place of prospective intentions in cross-temporal and inter-personal coordination, and as inputs to further practical thought.
This 400 ms time window of analysis was based on previous studies that showed temporal modulations of action and intention decoding within the first 400 ms of information processing [40].
Consider, for instance, Pereboom's second case, of the agent who is manipulated from a temporal distance, so that her later intentions and plans are "programmed in" at an early time, maybe at her birth.
