Wundt also speaks of a sensation, central in its origin, accompanying the voluntary innervation of the muscles, and quotes the example of the paralytic "who has a very distinct sensation of the force which he employs in the effort to raise his leg, although it remains motionless. — Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness, Henri Bergson
