Abstract

Human cognitive mechanisms have been studied for designing user-friendly interface. One of the key issues is the attribution of own actions to the intention of self or others. It is known that patients with schizophrenia who sometimes attribute their own actions to the intentions of others may perceive themselves as causing events which they do not in fact control, when they feel they are in voluntary movement. In this study, we design the experiment using a haptic device in order to investigate the difference of attribution of own actions when subjects lose haptic stimuli which would happen under normal circumstances. In the result, we show that haptic stimuli does not have implications for the attribution of own actions when anticipated actions happen, but influence it when actions happen with time delay.
