Sense of agency (SoA) is the feeling having control over one's actions and their outcomes. Previous research claimed that SoA reflected in "intentional binding" effects, is, subjective compression time between a voluntary action an intended outcome. Conventional paradigms, however, typically lack isolated manipulation different degrees (or intentionality), as presence or absence (along with subsequent perceptual changes) represents potential confound variable. Using newly developed paradigm,...
Depression and fatigue are commonly observed sequelae following viral diseases such as COVID-19. Identifying symptom constellations that differentially classify post-COVID depression may be helpful to individualize treatment strategies. Here, we investigated whether self-reported associated with the same or different constellations. To address this question, used data from COVIDOM, a population-based cohort study conducted part of NAPKON-POP platform. Data was collected in three German...
This study investigates the sense of agency (SoA) for saccades with implicit and explicit measures. In two eye tracking experiments, participants moved their eyes towards on-screen stimuli that subsequently changed color. Participants then either reproduced temporal interval between saccade color-change (Experiment 1) or reported time points these events an auditory Libet clock 2) to measure binding effects as indices SoA. were made believe exert control over color change not (agency...
Abstract Emojis are nowadays a common substitute for real facial expressions to integrate emotions in social interaction. In certain contexts, emojis possibly could also transport information beyond emotions, reflecting interindividual differences or aspects. this study, we investigated the influence of as socioemotional feedback stimuli on behavior and neural responses decision game. We modified Ultimatum Game by including emotional provided proposer response participant receiver....
When a single action is required, along with the simultaneous inhibition of another action, this typically results in frequent false-positive executions latter (inhibition failures). The absence inhibitory demands dual-action trials can render performance less error-prone (and sometimes faster) than single-action trials. In present study, we investigated temporal dynamics control difficulties by varying preparation time (for execution and inhibition). two experiments, participants responded...
Climate change is one of, if not the greatest, global challenges of this century, as its consequences can have a wide range impacts on society, environment, and personal lives many individuals. Consequently, people experience severe psychological distress in form fears, anxieties, or worries, elicited by one, some, all these different consequences. Thus, climate be conceptualized domain-specific construct. We conducted literature review qualitative lay survey to develop Domain-Specific...
Mental health in adolescence is critical its own right and a predictor of later symptoms anxiety depression. To address these mental challenges, it crucial to understand the variables linked depression adolescence.
Abstract Previous research has shown that the simultaneous execution of two actions (instead only one) is not necessarily more difficult but can actually be easier (less error-prone), in particular when executing one action requires inhibition another action. Corresponding inhibitory demands are particularly challenging to-be-inhibited highly prepotent (i.e., characterized by a strong urge to executed). Here, we study range important potential sources such prepotency. Building on previously...
Background: Depression and fatigue are commonly observed sequelae following viral diseases such as COVID-19.

To address this question, used data from COVIDOM, a population-based cohort study conducted part of NAPKON-POP platform. Data was collected...
Post-COVID syndrome (PCS) describes a persistent complex of symptoms following COVID-19 episode, lasting at least 4 to 12 weeks, depending on the specific criteria used for its definition. It is often associated with moderate severe impairments daily life and represents major burden many people worldwide. However, especially during first two years pandemic, therapeutic diagnostic uncertainties were prominent due novelty disease non-specific definitions that overlooked functional deficits...

Experiencing a sense of agency (SoA), the feeling being in control over one’s actions and their outcomes, typically requires intentional voluntary actions. Prior research has compared association versus completely involuntary with SoA. Here, we leveraged unique characteristics oculomotor to partially manipulate degree action voluntariness. Participants performed either highly automatized prosaccades or controlled (voluntary) anti-saccades, triggering gaze-contingent visual effect. We...
This study investigates the sense of agency (SoA) for saccades with implicit and explicit measures. In three eye tracking experiments, participants moved their eyes towards on-screen stimuli that subsequently changed color. Participants then either reproduced temporal interval between saccade color-change (Experiments 1 2) or reported time points these events an auditory Libet clock (Experiment 3) to measure binding effects as indices SoA. believed exert control over color change not (agency...
