自我能动感来自于对先前想法和行动计划、感觉运动信息以及感知结果之间关系的监控。它被认为是自我认知和自我意识的重要因素。三个实验研究了人类和恒河猴（Macaca mulatta）的自我代理感。首先，人类被要求用操纵杆移动光标，同时几个干扰光标也在屏幕上移动。他们被要求识别他们正在控制的光标，或者仅使用视觉线索的干扰物。然后，六只恒河猴被赋予了一项类似的任务，他们需要识别一个与几种不同类型的干扰物配对的自控光标。两组猴子都能识别自控光标，当反向移动的光标是干扰物时，猴子表现最好。第三个实验表明，人类和猕猴一样，使用感知和自我代理信息来做出决定。
The sense of self-agency results from monitoring the relationship between prior thoughts and action plans, sensorimotor information, and perceived outcomes. It is thought to be an important factor underlying self-recognition and self-awareness. Three experiments investigated the sense of self-agency in humans and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta). First, humans were asked to move a cursor with a joystick while several distractor cursors also moved on-screen. They were asked to identify either the cursor they were controlling, or a distractor using visual cues alone. Six rhesus macaques were then given a similar task in which they needed to identify a self-controlled cursor that was paired with several different types of distractors. Both groups were able to identify the self-controlled cursor, and monkeys performed best when the oppositely moving cursor was the distractor. A third experiment showed that humans, like macaques, use both perceptual and self-agency information to make decisions.
