 Paralyzed patients still know what it is like to act and that should be sufficient for them to still feel their inert limbs as their own (Peacocke 2019).

However, this account puts so few constraints on what it takes to experience one’s body as one’s own, that one may wonder how it is even possible to lose the sense of bodily ownership. What is the agency-involving difference between the paralyzed patients who deny ownership and those who do not?
