| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Humans show keen sensitivity when it comes to the perception of their own voices, and they are able to detect not only the differences between themselves and others but also the slight modulations of their own voices. In this research, we examined the neural mechanisms underlying such sensitive perception of one’s own voice.
Our results indicated that the superior temporal gyrus showed neural sharpening on presentation of voices and showed decreased activation to their own voice. To summarize, we showed that the superior temporal gyrus is involved in detecting slight modulations of one’s own voice and in self-recognition.
