Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, How Does My Brain Recognize My Image at All?

چکیده
For decades researchers have used mirrors to study self-recognition. However, attempts to identify neural processes underlying this ability have used photographs instead. Here we used event related potentials (ERPs) to compare self-face recognition in photographs versus mirrors and found distinct neural signatures. Measures of visual self-recognition are therefore not independent of the medium employed.

The mirror is one of the strangest and most magical of human inventions. We look out at the external world, and see ourselves staring back. Mirrors are so ubiquitous that – for most people it is difficult to imagine a house without several – one in the bathroom, one in the bedroom, maybe others dotted round various rooms. We wash ourselves and shave and brush our teeth under our own gaze. At on...
متن کاملA Power Efficient Gain Enhancing Technique for Current Mirror
This work introduces a new and simple method for adjusting the gain of current mirror. The major advantage of the proposed architecture is that, unlike the conventional variable gain current mirror, it does not need the change of the biasing current to adjust current gain. Therefore, the power dissipation remains constant in all of the gain settings. In addition, the proposed variable gain curr...

higher-level representations when we are thinking more abstractly. By any metric, my publication record shows that I am quite sympathetic to the idea that sensory and motor systems play a substantial role in what we have traditionally viewed as “higher cognition.” Some cognitive psychologists might even label me as an embodied cognition theorist for all the reasons noted above. But at the same ...
