Abstract
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) allow us to control a device, only using
thought. However, the mapping between the mental task and the BCI output
is often not very straightforward and therefore not very transparent. A mapping
between the mental task and the BCI output is called transparent when the
performed action is conform to the mental task. An non-transparent mapping
may cause uncertainty about whether the user is the agent of the action and is
causing or controlling the outcome. The feeling of being the one who is causing
or generating an action, is called sense of agency (Gallagher, 2000). In this
project, a BCI-experiment is conducted to discover the effect of the mapping
between an imagined movement and the resulting action on sense of agency.
