Although there is strong evidence that human decision-making is frequently self-biased, it
remains unclear whether self-biases mediate attention. Here we review evidence on the …

Self-referential processing has been principally investigated using functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI). However, understanding of the brain functioning is not possible …

Self-related information, due to its high social/adaptive value, seems to have a preferential
access to our attentional resources (cf. the cocktail party effect). However, it remains …

The neural representation of self is a fundamental question for brain research. Employing
activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analyses, we assessed the commonalities and …

Human adults usually respond faster to their own faces rather than to those of others. We
tested the hypothesis that an implicit positive association (IPA) with self mediates self …

This paper presents a review of studies that were aimed at determining which brain regions
are recruited during visual self-recognition, with a particular focus on self-face recognition. A …

The neural basis of self-recognition is mainly studied using brain-imaging techniques which
reveal much about the localization of self-processing in the brain. There are comparatively …

Highlights•Self-processing interacts with all the three attentional systems (alerting, orienting,
and executive control) to produce optimal behavior.•Self-prioritization effects occur in a …

The self‐reference effect in memory is the advantage for information encoded about self,
relative to other people. The early development of this effect was explored here using a …

It has long been established that when cues in the environment are perceived to have
relevance to self (eg, hearing your own name across a crowded room, seeing your own face …
