Figure 3. Agency-ownership interaction model.
Modification of the model used by Wolpert et al. [60] is shown schematically, consisting of two processes. The agency-branch (up) uses self-originated (top-down) agency-derived priors and beliefs and the current generated cognitive map to predict the next version of the map using a forward model. The ownership-branch (bottom) uses one’s personal model of ownership and egocentric-allocentric translation (difference between the predicted allocentric map and the actual egocentric feedback perceived by path-integration and perceived world information) to correct the predicted map. The next generated map is dependent on these two processes (with different weighting). Circles represent operators along the model.
