Sense of ownership (SoO), in psychology, is the feeling of identifying sensations (both internal and external) as affecting, establishing, and belonging to one's identified-self.^[1] and is the pre-reflective awareness or implicit sense that one is the owner of an action, movement or thought.

In non-pathological experience, the SoO is tightly integrated with one's "sense of agency" (SoA).

At least three different types of bodily self-experiences can be experimentally identified as separable processes: self-identification (i.e. ownership of one's bodily sensations), self-location (i.e., the experience of self situated in a specific space), and first person-perspective (i.e., the loci of experiencing and perceiving reality).^[1]
