Neural correlates of self: the lower- and higher-order self-referential processing
Mikriukov, Igor ; Zaytseva, Yulia (advisor) ; Bezdíček, Ondřej (referee)
The diploma thesis deals with the neural correlates of the human self. Specifically, it focuses on two types of neural processes that give rise to the self, namely on the lower- and higher- order self-referential processing (LO-SRP and HO-SRP). First, the thesis discusses selected classic and modern theories of the self, as well as selected phenomena and processes related to the self. The investigated processes are subsequently characterized in relation to these theoretical models and concepts. Next, the thesis presents a systematic overview of neuroimaging studies of the self to date and identifies brain areas that are potentially involved in LO-SRP and HO-SRP. In addition, the thesis describes neurocognitive models of the self, that try to explain various processes involved in the neural system of the self. The practical part of the work presents a research project that deals with the neural correlates of self-voice processing (LO-SRP) and processing of information about one's own person (HO-SRP) in healthy individuals. The study examines these processes in the auditory and mental domains. The results of the study provide evidence of the involvement of the default mode network and mirror neuron system in SRP. The study also identifies brain regions involved in LO-SRP and HO-SRP and some...
