Freedom of choice enhances the sense of agency over the outcomes of our actions and has been suggested to benefit experiential learning. Yet, how agency experience influences the neurophysiological processing of feedback during goal-directed behavior is not clearly understood. We performed two EEG studies to examine how freedom of choice influences feedback processing during reinforcement learning. Participants received performance feedback in form of monetary gains and losses following binary item choices by the self or the computer. Study 1 (N = 30) revealed augmented feedback-induced midfro
