Abstract
A commentary on: Affective coding: the emotional dimension of agency.
Highlights
We welcome Gentsch and Synofzik’s (2014) review of the role of affect in modulating a person’s sense of agency (SoA)
The review is timely and synthesizes a great deal of evidence. We feel that their claims concerning the role of affect in modulating a person’s SoA could be usefully extended to the study of auditory hallucinations (AH), one unusual experience not discussed in their review
We describe recent findings that suggest that one way in which negative affect plays a role in the development of AH is by reducing the SoA associated with selfgenerated cognitions and suggest that the insula may play an important role in mediating the effect of affect on SoA
Summary
We welcome Gentsch and Synofzik’s (2014) review of the role of affect in modulating a person’s sense of agency (SoA). A commentary on Affective coding: the emotional dimension of agency by Gentsch, A., and Synofzik, M.
