“…The fronto-central delta and theta power during a resting state have been associated with the DMN and the somato-motor network (Jann et al, 2010;Scheeringa et al, 2008). In addition, previous reports have described that the MPFC, as a part of the DMN, has a role in occupation preference judgment (Nakao et al, 2009a), and that the region has functional connectivity with dACC during an occupation preference judgment task (Nakao et al, 2010b). Based on this evidence, it is possible that the sensitivity to detect conflict within the MPFC might be varied with the intrinsic brain activity within the MPFC and/or intrinsic brain activity reflecting the MPFC-dACC functional connectivity.…”

“…Such decisions are usually made in the context of preference judgment (Johnson et al, 2005;Knutson et al, 2008;Nakao et al, 2009aNakao et al, , 2010aNakao et al, ,2010bSommer et al, 2010) as well as in the context of moral decision-making (Caspers et al, 2011;Greene et al, 2004;Kahane et al, 2012;Moll et al, 2006), where the answer depends on the subject's own, i.e., internal, preferences rather than on external, i.e. circumstantial, criteria.…”

“…Based on this evidence, Nakao et al (2012) suggested that internally guided decision-making is based largely on intrinsic brain activity, unlike externally guided decisionmaking. It is also possible that conflict in internally guided decisionmaking is affected by intrinsic brain activity based on the notions that MPFC and PCC, as parts of the DMN, have functional connectivity with dACC during internally guided decision-making Nakao et al, 2010b).…”

“…In this case, subjective preference, determined by self‐reference, becomes an internal criterion in decision making. For example, researchers report that self‐reference reduces the conflict by biasing one of two occupational choices in decision making compared with other reference . The self acting as an implicit anchor in decision making may reflect that the self always exists in our consciousness, especially when self‐related stimuli are present.…”

People show systematic biases in perception, memory, and attention to favor information related to themselves over information related to other people. Researchers have examined these biases in order to throw light on the nature of the self. We review this evidence in memory, face recognition, and simple perceptual matching tasks through objective measures of self-biases. We argue that the self serves as a stable anchor across different forms of judgment and that referring a stimulus to ourselves enhances the binding of stimulus features at different stages of processing (e.g., in perception and in memory) and also the binding between processing stages. There is neural evidence that self-biases reflect an underlying neural network that interacts with but is independent of attentional control networks in the brain, and that damage to the self-related network disrupts the bias effects. We discuss the implications for understanding the nature of the self.

Association between long-range temporal correlations in intrinsic EEG activity and subjective sense of identity

The long-range temporal correlation (LRTC) in resting-state intrinsic brain activity is known to be associated with temporal behavioral patterns, including decision making based on internal criteria such as self-knowledge. However, the association between the neuronal LRTC and the subjective sense of identity remains to be explored; in other words, whether our subjective sense of consistent self across time relates to the temporal consistency of neural activity. The present study examined the relationship between the LRTC of resting-state scalp electroencephalography (EEG) and a subjective sense of identity measured by the Erikson Psychosocial Stage Inventory (EPSI). Consistent with our prediction based on previous studies of neuronal-behavioral relationships, the frontocentral alpha LRTC correlated negatively with identity confusion. Moreover, from the descriptive analyses, centroparietal beta LRTC showed negative correlations with identity confusion, and frontal theta LRTC showed positive relationships with identity synthesis. These results suggest that more temporal consistency (reversely, less random noise) in intrinsic brain activity is associated with less confused and better-synthesized identity. Our data provide further evidence that the LRTC of intrinsic brain activity might serve as a noise suppression mechanism at the psychological level.
