Can auditory self-related stimuli make changes in hemodynamic response in frontal cortex: A preliminary fNIRS study
Merve Alokten, Lutfu Hanoglu · FENS Forum 2024
Recently, the self has become an important focus of conscious mind research. Neuroimaging studies reveal that the self emerges from the spontaneous activity of cortical midline structures (CMS). Prefrontal cortex structures are also mentioned prominently in consciousness theories such as higher-order and global workspace theories. This preliminary study aims to observe changes in frontal hemodynamics in response to self-related and non-self-related stimuli. The study included five healthy voluntary participants (mean age=25.6±5.986). Auditory stimuli containing the subject's own name (SON) wer
