Summary

This study looked at how the brain creates the feeling of being in control of our own actions. Researchers compared healthy volunteers with people who have schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, especially those who feel their actions are controlled by an outside force. By studying simple tasks, they hope to uncover the basic mental processes behind this sense of control.
