“…As a highly abstract social identity, the rapid identification of names has become a research hotspot [ 6 ], and names have gradually become a common stimulus in self-cognition [ 43 ]. In the self-name recognition experiment, Harris [ 39 ] studied the self-name fast search problem through nine visual search experiments.…”

“…Eye movement data showed that the subjects only stayed on their own faces for a longer time, which proved that their own faces were more difficult to disengage. In addition to the strong interference of self-face, Yamada [ 43 ] found that abstract information about his name also inhibited target stimuli. In the experiment, the visual search task of the target point was designed, and the results showed that when the subjects’ own name appeared as an interference, the average deviation of the eye movement error of the target point positioning was 1.61°.…”

The important identity attribute of self-information presents unique cognitive processing advantages in psychological experiments and has become a research hotspot in psychology and brain science. The unique processing mode of own information has been widely verified in visual and auditory experiments, which is a unique neural processing method for own name, face, voice and other information. In the study of individual behavior, the behavioral uniqueness of self-information is reflected in the faster response of the human brain to self-information, the higher attention to self-information, and the stronger memory level of self-reference. Brain imaging studies have also presented the uniqueness of self-cognition in the brain. EEG studies have shown that self-information induces significant P300 components. fMRI and PET results show that the differences in self and non-self working patterns were located in the frontal and parietal lobes. In addition, this paper combines the self-uniqueness theory and brain-print recognition technology to explore the application of self-information in experimental design, channel combination strategy and identity feature selection of brainprints.

“…In the present study, therefore, we conducted two experiments with different parameters and designs to investigate whether the SRE occurs by implicit self-referential processing evoked by the self-related stimulus that was presented without participants realizing. We focused on participants’ own name as the self-related stimulus because many studies have been done that have indicated special features of the own-name just like own-face ( Shapiro et al, 1997 ; Tacikowski et al, 2011 , 2013 ; Zhao et al, 2011 ; Yamada et al, 2012 ; Nakane et al, 2016 ). For example, Shapiro et al (1997) indicated that participants could detect their own name better as a second target in a rapid serial visual presentation (RSVP) stream than another person’s name or a noun.…”

Does Implicit Self-Reference Effect Occur by the Instantaneous Own-Name?

Self-reference effect (SRE) is defined as better recall or recognition performance when the materials that are memorized refer to the self. The SRE paradigm usually requires participants to explicitly refer items to themselves, but some researchers have found that the SRE also can occur for implicitly self-referenced items. Few studies though have investigated the effect of self-related stimuli without awareness. In this study, we presented self-related (participants’ names) or other (other’s names or nouns) stimuli for a very short time between masks and then explicitly presented subsequent trait adjectives to participants. Recognition performance showed no significant differences between the own-name and the other two conditions in Experiment 1 that had random-order conditions. On the other hand, the result of Experiment 2 that had block-order conditions and greater prime stimuli suggests that SRE can occur as a result of the instantaneous stimulus: Subjects who showed better memory performance also had relatively high recognition of the trait adjectives that they viewed after their instantaneously presented own-name. This effect would show that self-representation can be activated by self-related stimuli without awareness and that subsequent items are unconsciously referenced to that self-representation.

“…This type of mislocalization occurs because the neural sensitivity of position coding units is inhibited around a focus of attention, and this inhibition resultantly shifts the spatial centroids of population activities of the unit, coding a target location away from the pre-cued location (Suzuki & Cavanagh, 1997). On the other hand, a memorized location of a target is reproduced with a bias toward a pre-cued location (Yamada, Kawabe, & Miura, 2008b, 2012Yamada, Miura, & Kawabe, 2011). The researchers suggest that the spatial distribution of attention modulates location signals of the target around the pre-cued location, and this leads to the mislocalization of the target toward the pre-cued location (Yamada et al, 2008b).…”

“…Previous studies that investigated the mislocalization of a target have employed a cueing paradigm in which external objects were presented to control the location of observers' attentional focus. Because those external objects (such as a bright rectangle) have retinal stimulations at a cued location (e.g., Yamada et al, 2011Yamada et al, , 2012, most of the previous findings are consistent with an idea that the mislocalization of a target towards the external object is caused by memory averaging between a target and an attended external object (Kerzel, 2002). Alternatively, however, it was also possible that the mislocalization of a target occurs because a location signal of a target is directly modulated by spatial distribution of observers' attention.…”

A briefly presented peripheral flash is often mislocalized with a bias toward an attended object. The target mislocalization has been ascribed to the integration of location signals between a target and an attended object, and this results in the mislocalization of the target toward the attended object. It was unclear whether external objects that attract observer's attention were necessary to cause the target mislocalization. This study aimed at examining whether the target mislocalization occurred when the shift of observers' attention was induced by gaze cueing, in which observer's attention is shifted in the direction of other's gaze. This cueing paradigm requires no external object to attract attention, thus it enabled us to directly examine the necessity of external objects in the target mislocalization. Stimuli consisted of a pictorial face, a target, and a probe. First, the pictorial face was presented, and its gaze was shifted so as to look at either upper-right or upper-left. The target was successively presented for 50 msec. After a temporal interval of 0 or 2000 msec was inserted as a retention interval, the probe was presented below the target. The observers' task was to judge whether the target had appeared at the left or right side of the probe location. The target was significantly mislocalized in the direction of gaze shift only when the retention interval was 2000 msec. Moreover, reaction time for detecting a target was shorter at the gazed than non-gazed location. These results suggest that the mislocalization does not require external objects attracting attention. Neural signals of target location are possibly averaged with the attention-induced local change in neural signals, and this results in the target mislocalization toward the gazed location.
