Sense of agency refers to the feeling of control over actions and action outcomes. Previous studies were mostly confined to the situation of performing actions to make objects appear, while it remains unexplored whether we experience sense of agency when making objects disappear. Here, we examined the temporal binding effect, an implicit index of sense of agency, in performing actions to make objects disappear and compared the magnitude of this effect in the appearing and disappearing situations. Results showed that the temporal binding effect emerged when object’s disappearances served as action outcomes. Moreover, the temporal binding effects in the appearing and disappearing situations did not differ significantly. Our findings extend the temporal binding effect to the situation of voluntarily making objects disappear, suggesting a comparable level of implicit sense of agency when voluntarily making objects disappear and appear.

代理感是指对行动和行动结果的控制感。以往的研究大多局限于执行动作使物体出现的情况，而在使物体消失时我们是否体验到代理感仍未得到探索。在这里，我们检查了时间约束效应，一种隐含的代理感指数，在执行使物体消失的动作时，并比较了这种效应在出现和消失情况下的大小。结果表明，当物体的消失作为动作结果时，就会出现时间约束效应。此外，出现和消失情况下的时间绑定效果没有显着差异。我们的研究结果将时间约束效应扩展到自愿使物体消失的情况，
