This chapter focuses on the process of intentional action, on our conscious awareness of some events occurring during that process and on the chronometry of these conscious states. We first introduce the concept of efferent binding: a hypothesized neural process which links representations of intentions to act to representations of the action itself, and finally to representations of the external consequences of action. We then describe two experiments investigating the perceived times of actions and of associated stimulus events. Our results provide evidence for an efferent binding process which influences conscious awareness, and which amounts to a common principle for conscious coding of perception and action.
