| Abstract |
The neural signals that give rise to our experience of the actions we perform are not well understood. Obhi et al. (Cognition 110:65-73, 2009) proposed that both efferent and re-afferent signals contribute to the conscious awareness of intentional actions. We further highlight the role of these signals in the awareness of our actions and the intention to perform these actions. We obtained temporal judgments of movement onset and the intention to execute finger and toe movements. This enabled us to compare our results with predictions corresponding to the conduction length of either effector. Our results confirm the findings of Obhi et al. (Cognition 110:65-73, 2009) that both efferent and re-afferent signals contribute to the awareness of planned actions and suggest that these signals may also play a role in our experience of our intention to perform an action. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 January 2024.
All research outputs
#7,451,584
of 22,780,967 outputs
Outputs from Experimental Brain Research
#900
of 3,224 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#37,088
of 110,317 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Experimental Brain Research
#8
of 17 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,780,967 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,224 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.0. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 56% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 110,317 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 18th percentile – i.e., 18% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 17 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
