| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, to elucidate the cognitive and neural basis of human self recognition processes especially based on the our own memory, I investigated from the aspect of the self-reference effect (SRE) that is defined as better memory performance when the memorized items refer to the self representation. Results suggested that i) the words referred to the self showed greater VMPFC activation relative to the others both in encoding and retrieval phase, and ii) it is possible that the SRE occurs unconsciously by subliminally-presented self-related information.
