The common emerging factor in alien hand syndrome is that the primary motor cortex controlling hand movement is isolated from Premotor cortex influences but remains generally intact in its ability to execute movements of the hand.

A 2007 fMRI study examining the difference in functional brain activation patterns associated with alien as compared to non-alien ' volitional ' movement in a patient with alien hand syndrome found that alien movement involves isolated activation of the contralateral secondary motor cortex, while non-alien movement involved the activation of primary motor cortex in concert with frontal and parietal association cortex presumably involved in a cortical network generating premotor influences on the primary motor cortex.

Combining these two fMRI studies, one could hypothesize that the alien behavior that is unaccompanied by a sense of agency emerges due to autonomous activity in the primary motor cortex acting independently of premotor cortex pre-activating influences that would normally be associated with the emergence of a sense of agency linked to the action.
