I think you define it very well. Self-sense building is the identification of perfect or near-perfect prediction of inputs based on outputs produced. When I move my hand on the right, the visual pattern it produces moves on the right ... and so on. This is basically related to the level of control you have on the feedback loop. Numerous experiments back that idea, including the ones you refer to. This reflexion may be extended by asking oneself how perfect prediction might be linked to pleasure / pain signals (this is purely rethorical as the answer is obvious and known). What is not to be enjoyed in perfect prediction ? This could be a reason to self-enjoyment (or self-sense might be related to enjoyment), and even enjoyment of other people whose actions we can predict. We are embarking on the path to understanding what information really is, and this will no doubt deeply shake our world. Deep and fascinating subject anyway.
