Outline of Research at the Start

Voluntary initiation is the ability to initiate movement of our body and is one of the essential features of human agency. However, the prevailing body-mind dichotomy and reductive approaches in philosophy and cognitive sciences do not explain the subjective efficacy of voluntary intiation to act upon the world. This research aims at an integrative model of subjective efficacy that will inform a systematically grounded theory of voluntary initiation and an algorithmically implementable model that guides experimental and clinical work in the cognitive sciences and rehabilitation robotics.

Outline of Annual Research Achievements

The project proceeds as planned.
Phase A (Analyzing voluntary initiation and forward gait): A.1 Publication of peer-reviewed paper on Husserl and performative intentionality. Analysis of the concept of the body schema. A.2 Analysis of referent control as a framework for the motor control of gait initiation.
Phase B (Initiation experiment): Finalized protocol. Design and production of three vibrotactile stimulation devices. Conducted one initial test measurement.
Phase C (Integrative model of voluntary initiation): C.1 Analysis of Fichte's transcendental account of action and perception. Published paper on an abductive model of action.

Current Status of Research Progress
Current Status of Research Progress

2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.

Reason

The conceptual work proceeds as planned. The transcendetal foundation and the motor control theory have been overviewed.
The experimental work is under preparation. The protocol and the equipment are finalized.
No particular problems occured.

Strategy for Future Research Activity

The next step is the further elaboration of the theory of consciousness and the motor control theory.
In 2024, the initiation experiment will be conducted.
