The present study investigates the mechanisms underlying the sense of agency in patients with Tourette Syndrome (TS). Previous research has shown that individuals with TS display impairments in both explicit and implicit aspects of agency, possibly due to altered integration between sensory feedback and motor predictions. To explore this hypothesis, the study will examine the phenomenon of sensory attenuation, a marker of sensorimotor integration that has not yet been investigated in this population. Furthermore, the study will assess how alterations in sensorimotor integration are related to the severity of TS symptoms.
