Sensory Attenuation (SA) refers to the phenomenon that self-generated stimuli are perceived less intensely than externally generated sensations. Recent findings, however, suggest that SA is a phenomenon mostly linked to prediction rather than intentional actions. With the present study, we aimed at interrogating this question.The study consisted of a VR setup and a simultaneous EEG recording. Participants were required to either actively touch or passively get touched by a virtual ball that gave them (or not) an electrical stimulation at the finger, in a probabilistic manner. Participants had
