Proud to have this article accepted, what feels like the culmination of my PhD and postdoc research! Here I propose the Sensory Conflict Hypothesis (SCH) of combined action observation and motor imagery (AOMI). tinyurl.com/yv8utusu 1/7

It was a pleasure to deliver a keynote at the 2026 @_RIOgroup_ meeting to discuss the Sensory Conflict Hypothesis of AOMI (see 2/2). After 20 years of RIO meetings, it's amazing to see the organization growing with a strong international attendance and student contribution. 1/2

Through updating of MI (the forward model) with the observed kinematics, and reduction of sensory prediction errors, activity reduces and behavior becomes more similar to the observed action. With this, opportunity for the illusion of agency increases. 6/7
