Temporal binding window and sense of agency are related processes modifiable via occipital tACS.

The temporal binding window refers to the time frame within which temporal grouping of sensory information takes place. Sense of agency is the feeling of being in control of one's actions, and their associated outcomes. While previous research has shown that temporal cues and multisensory integ...
